Kind of off-topic, but... For backups, I prefer a bunch of disks in a RAID configuration. After all, what good is an online backup system if the data becomes corrupted without me realizing it... I heard QNAP makes good ones. Or I can always make an LVM-based one, booting off a USB stick. Still considering which route to take, though... The former is more expensive, but the latter is not that much cheaper either, considering I have to build a complete system with a honkin' big casing + honkin' big PSU to feed them hard drives... And neither provides an off-site backup... Rgds, -- Pandu E Poluan, ~ IT Optimizer ~
