Ah, yes you did, indeed.  I had missed that that excellent post was by
you.  (A reaction to it: Most instances of people saying "to be
secure, uninstall everything, make the box unusable" make me scoff,
but your description of a very limited backup box is actually
appropriate to the use.  Bravo.)

I will note, however, that I wasn't the only one to fall for your
isolated "disks make great raid installations!"-post.  A tape defender
will tout removability and portability, good to head off at the pass
both them and the likes of me.  So, sorry to criticize, but had I
checked back more carefully in the thread I would still have posted a
response clarifying that you do know the difference between backup and
a raid array.


-kb, the Kent who thinks the idea of incremental backups over the
internet is about to be the new version of "off site backup".
