Sounds like you've answered your own question. We've even considered making a "backup server" on our network that would be used HW (old P90 or something with 16 or 32M RAM) except for a new, big HDD and just tar important stuff to an NFS share on a regular basis. A second HDD wouldn't be a bad idea either, you could even have a backup script that mounts the filesystem, does the backup and then unmounts the filesystem to keep anyone from inadvertantly messing with it. -Bill To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
