That would almost certainly work, but it isn't quite the problem I want to solve - unless you have really high bandwidth connections to another location. I want to keep a nearly up-to-date copy of the backuppc archive off-site. How well does openfiler handle slow links to it's mirror and/or re-syncing if one side goes down? I'm currently RAID-mirroring to a periodically swapped firewire drive but would like something more automatic. -- Les Mikesell [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
