It's not sufficient for that scenario, however, because that meteor would probably take out your nearby external backup drive as well. My preference is full-drive local backups and then important documents on the Internet. I have a JungleDisk (virtual network drives on top of Amazon S3) workgroup account for my podcasting team. It has some problems with doing live work on it, but for storage or backup it's easy and cheap. But this is getting off-topic. I just wanted to make the point that blaming an upgrade glitch, however whacked-out it might be, for cascading code fixes across all projects and losing a couple days of work was probably unnecessary. A good computer user should have the power to turn back time. I'm also unsure how moving from RSpec to three totally separate tools reduces the risk of such dependency glitches happening again. It wasn't good that this happened, but RSpec isn't the first and only gem ever to cause problems. -- Have Fun, Steve Eley ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) ESCAPE POD - The Science Fiction Podcast Magazine http://www.escapepod.org _______________________________________________ rspec-users mailing list [email protected] http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rspec-users
