thanks vivek. i wonder if hardisks, especially when used for such heavy read-writes, can last 10 years. i've seen my data cds have actually lasted 10 years, but can't recall a single hard-disk that has. so i guess archive has to be on something else. more responses to other suggestions in the thread. thanks everyone for your ideas. :-) niyam _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Next Event: http://freed.in - September 28-29, 2007 Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
