There have been many examples proffered. I think you just don't want to acknowledge them. I won't repeat Jeff's list, which is quite complete and very useful for us all. It includes some technologies that are waxing and some that are waning. I think RAID has gone dark. Some of us have not gotten there yet. I do apperciate Jeff's efforts to write it all down. RAID vs. RAIS is an interesting concept, that I won't agree with. All this is what makes this list special. I think we should scale this back to the parameters of the original question: given a limited budget and the need to protect about 1TB, which of these technologies make sense? I woule go for DVDs *and* an external hard drive, but no RAID. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
