If we're talking about systems for home use, it seems sensible enough to me to have two large storage devices in physically seperate, but networked machines, that can crossmount and back each other up. With the low cost of todays hard disk media, particularly in comparison to the cost of backup systems, this seems like it would be cheaper more often than not, and only unfeasable for companies that process masses of data daily (e.g. a store's sales) .. for which RAID isnt appropriate either, anyways (something more like tape backup instead..) -- jkenner @ mindspring . com__ I Support Linux: _> _ _ |_ _ _ _| Working Together To <__(_||_)| )| `(_|(_)(_| To Build A Better Future. |
