Tenebrae, > I have about 70GB of stuff to back up and I don't want to spend over > $500US. At the rate ATA drives are going up in size and down in price, tape seems to be less and less of a cost-effective solution, both for drives and media. On a recent visit to a well-know large vendor, I saw Maxtor 120GB drives for $90 - well under the magic $1/GB. A few of those, a bit of RAID (controller or vinum) and you've got a cheap redundant backup store. -Andrew- -- _______________________________________________________________________ | -Andrew J.
