Yes, while I agree that a good off-site backup made on tapes is always the best solution reliability-wise, in this particular case it's not efficient because there is already quadruple redundancy. It's cheaper, faster and more convenient to backup on 1, 2, 3 external disks and keep them separately.
Speaking of the future, keeping data on-site will be fortunately eliminated. Look at Sun Microsystems initiatives from years back. Simple, cheap, replaceable home appliances/thin clients, fast network connection and the rest is not your business. But not now. -- alekz ------------------------------------------------------------------------ alekz's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13574 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=42358 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
