That depends on your goals in this backup. If fast recovery from a drive loss is your only criterion, RAID would be better, but swapping it into a completely different machine might be harder. And neither one protects you from losing the whole machine, of course. > 2) How can I verify if this drive is bootable?

Nothing you can check "live" will be nearly as certain as trying it. _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
