I have used Mozy online backup for a couple of years now. I like the way it works and it offers off site backup for $5 a month per pc, unlimited. The new version of their software even includes local backup as well. If it works as well as Mozy its should be a very nice addition. -- tedfroop

Correct, you need 7.5.0 or later for the SB Touch. If you're looking to cannibalize a VFD, note that the display in the SB2 is the same as the SB3, but it's mounted very differently. -- aubuti aubuti's Profile: http://foru

As the SB has many user interfaces, the first question is: top level menu of what? For any of the SB players or the SB Controller, you can add "Synchronize" to your top-level menu quite easily. But there is no way to add it to the top-level of the SBS web ui unless you hack the HTML. For the SB C

You can have a cable longer than 300 feet. There is no guarantee that you'll achieve maximum data transfer speeds though. I assume the only thing connected to the cable will be the SB. If that is the case, you shouldn't have any problems. Especially if you keep the cable away from power lines and
