You can buy lots of storage for $900... How much storage do you need? One way to do it. Take one machine, get 2 large drives for the data, one smaller drive for the OS and a CD-ROM drive. Send all the data to the first data drive and configure OS to sync second drive every 24 hours. If you have a pranoia about safety of the data on one machine, buy external drive enclosure. Attach external drive only when it is time to run a backup. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
