Not sure. I had a quick read through one of the FAQs on Openfiler's website, and it would seem the redundancy feature is a proprietary "plugin". I have no idea what the cost is. However, Openfiler can also perform snapshots - manual and scheduled. That could also be an option. BTW, I've never used Openfiler. I'm just running through its feature set and seeing how it could be applied to the BackupPC pool situation. > I'm currently RAID-mirroring to a > periodically swapped firewire drive but would like something > more automatic. I suggest giving OpenFiler's snapshot feature a try. Openfiler is all web driven, so setting it up would be easy.
