Backup to the cloud? Not likely. But backup to disk, why not? It's not like you're breaking rocks while that backup is happening. You're off doing something else. The data is (or should be) nearly static, so the initial full backup might take 24 hours, but subsequent backups will only be backing up a few gigabytes and take minutes. The majority of the time taken isn't even going to be in transferring files across the USB/eSATA/ethernet interface ... it's going to be spent comparing the hundreds of thousands of files' timestamps and sizes. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=100561 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
