If you are on linux I recommend you take a look at http://rsnapshot.org (discussed on the 'how do you backup...' thread of a few days ago as well) This would be a perfect solution for what you just described, kkitts. Also, FWIW, I'd recommend your backup drive size >= primary drive size. rsnapsh

Raid 5 is great. I have 4x250Gb disks of which 750Gb is useable. I can lose any single disk without data loss. If it fails, I swap the faulty disk with one of equal or greater capacity and it automatically rebuilds (in theory). One nice feature as well is that I can continue to use the system - so

Hello, i've heard of Raid 5, if someone is using it i would like to have an opinion. Are the disks seen as one disk? It would be easier to browse with the Squeezebox. Is it faster and reliable? I would like to buy a Pci SATA card and 4 300 G° Hdds in the future. Thanks in advance. Jean -- zan

Check DNS and gateway settings. You can use your router address for both, but that sometimes doesn't work for DNS. Even though most routers can be set up as DNS servers, I find it rarely works for me. In that case, I enter in my ISP's DNS server, which I obtain by looking at my router configura
