      Nice!

      Do you have a disk array, by any chance?

      Disk array on the network. Mirrored drives. Need a second or third and back and spare backup. :)

      Good deal - you're about where we are, then: need an offsite backup, but at least the data is mirrored, so it's safe except in case of fire or something.

      Offsite scares me. We continue taling about another TB array and then just putting it in the safe. Would need a bigger safe, tho. :) -L

      Offsite could be as simple as buying a couple extra drives for your array. If yours is a 2-drive array (as mine is) it'd be a simple matter of just swapping out the secondary drive, letting the drive rebuild, and carrying off the original (secondary) drive to work or something. Or, even better, a safe deposit box.
