Be warned, your disk performance will suffer considerably if it's on USB. Also, I've had terrible luck with external HDDs (one year, literally half of them were DOA or died soon after). BackupPC will stress any drive to the maximum; so if any app will make your drive fail, this is it. You may be much better off with a separate internal drive (which you can put in an external chassis for rescue purposes); or an internal drive on a removable sled of some sort. -- Carl Soderstrom Systems Administrator Real-Time Enterprises www.real-time.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Register Now & Save for Velocity, the Web Performance & Operations Conference from O'Reilly Media.
