It's a good idea, but it serves a different purpose. With a vinum mirror, what do you do if a user comes to you complaining that they've lost a file (accidentally deleted it)? Vinum mirrors won't help with that, you'll need backups on some different media. -Bill To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
