multiple layers of backup. My main system has a main system. With scheduled backups to an external hard drive, and online. I have a lot of data on it like pictures that I wouldn't want to lose. A SSD would replace my main boot drive, with faster access to data as used. But the external drive would still be there for backup. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
