Tom> Randal, I'm curious what you are doing for data backups. For single spindle failure, the disks are on RAID10, so I'm not terribly worried. (Far better than what I used to have, which was a nightly rsync to a second spindle.) For fumble-fingers, I have ZFS snapshots... every 10 minutes for two hours, then the hour snaps are retained for two days, then one snap each day is retained... well, forever, or until I run out of disk, and then I'll delete some of the ones in the middle to turn them into weeklies. :) For true catastrophes, I download essential information to my laptop every few days, which in turn gets backed up each day to a portable drive, and also to my Drobo when I'm at home. Business opportunity out there... ZFS is gaining quite a following... if someone could set up a "ship ZFS incremental snapshots to the cloud", I'd be a very interested customer. -- Randal L.
