Our current stable version can export single disk or multiple disks (using erasure coding providing protection against disk failures) As it is very easy to get started with (single binary, thanks to Go) people find it attractive for dev/test environments.
To replicate for HA (even for the single server version), use "mc mirror -watch SOURCE TARGET" command to pair them up. If you have multiple drives (JBOD), you can eliminate RAID or ZFS and use Minio's erasure code to pool them up. Distributed version is also in dev/testing at the moment. It should be out in a month.
Currently available minio is resilient to disk failures using erasure coding (similar to RAID)
The minio available today for production use can export single disk or aggregate multiple disks on the same machine using erasure coding.
For this, if you want backup you can use github.com/minio/mc tool to mirror, more help here https://docs.minio.io/docs/minio-client-complete-guide#mirro...
learning from this experience: never do an "rm" on the log file, instead do "truncate -s 0" on the log file.
