Hello, (First post, I think I'm getting this emailed to the right place) I have an option when you consider a backup.
Use a hardware raid card. (ide) (mirror) Hardware is safe than the software type. Now what you might want to do to increase speed is have one raid that you boot from. And another raid that that data is on. First this type of backup/raid for me has proven to be excellent. Second, what backup? its in real time and you don't have to schedule or worry about power outages or waiting for the tapes to do their thing. You don't have to replace tapes. Tapes will have errors on them then you have to figure out how to rewrite the files. To get this information you have to wait 2x as long cause it has to go back and compare the data on the disks. This means that also more wear on the hard drives. Basicly there is no time down. I can go on technically but I'll pass. However you just have a credit card handy and cross ship a failed drive for a new drive. If your really paranoid you install a 3rd drive and the 3rd drive automaticly copies the non-failed drive and you have 2 automaticly since it happens when your on vacation in the alps and your pager goes off. You tell the boss its taken care of because you spent an extra $80 for the 3rd drive, and ignore the blinking warning light Bruce Gaylord (Gaillard) ----- Original Message ----- From: "root" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "John McCreesh" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, November 20, 2002 4:25 PM Subject: Re: [Ltsp-discuss] Feasibility, conventional networking VS diskless networking On Wed, 2002-11-20 at 19:31, John McCreesh wrote: > Have a look at http://uk.homelinux.org/docs/scintro.pdf > > Might give you some ammunition - John > > On Wed, 20 Nov 2002 16:34:00 +0800 > Stephen Liu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Hi all folks, > > > > > > > > > > ------------------------------------------------------- > > This sf.net email is sponsored by: To learn the basics of securing > > your web site with SSL, click here to get a FREE TRIAL of a Thawte > > Server Certificate: http://www.gothawte.com/rd524.html > > _____________________________________________________________________ > > Ltsp-discuss mailing list.
