I think you would be much better up backing up the pool or running multiple copies of BackupPC. I don't know the exact statistics, but I know that "single bit flips" are in general *way* less likely than disk failures or file system corruptions that would affect the entire pool whether de-duped or not. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sell apps to millions through the Intel(R) Atom(Tm) Developer Program Be part of this innovative community and reach millions of netbook users worldwide.
