>Microsoft Home Server is supposed to do that sort of backup. That >is-was due out last month-real soon now- ><http://www.winsupersite.com/reviews/whs_preview.asp>
A Mini would be too expensive for this. Prices for Linux-based home servers are incredibly low. OWC has the "NASPerform Network Storage Solution" with 500GB storage going for $210. I have been using the Linksys NSLU2 for a couple of years now. That sells for $60 (without disks). The Microsoft Home Server runs Windows Server 2003 which I don't think any sensible person would pick for trouble-free operation. However, the price looks to be competitive. LaCie promises a version for later this month with 500GB storage for $199. ************************************************************************ * ==> QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in <== * ==> the body of an email & send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <== * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?
