While my music has ended up there, it's my digital photos that actually pushed me into an NAS-type environment. I wanted something better than single-disk reliability plus backups, plus I've found my backups happen better on the Solaris-based NAS than they did under windows (I never found an adequate Windows backup product, whereas rsync to external USB drives works perfectly, with the added benefit that my backup isn't locked up in a proprietary format). The enterprise features figure prominently, especially snapshots. And it's a BIG DEAL for me to know that a scrub has verified data even if I haven't accessed it lately; old photos in my collection are still important to me. -- David Dyer-Bennet, d...@dd-b.net; http://dd-b.net/ Snapshots: http://dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/data/ Photos: http://dd-b.net/photography/gallery/ Dragaera: http://dragaera.info _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
