I'm a heavy computer user and probably passed the 500GB mark way before most other home users, did various stunts like running a RAID0 on IBM Deathstars, and I never back up. And I'm only running a ZFS mirror since a month or two, as insurance against disk failure (suddenly felt I needed to do this). What ZFS can give home users is safety for certain parts of their data, via checksums and ditto blocks. Doesn't prevent disk failure, but sure helps keeping important personal documents uncorrupted. -mg _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
