If you don't mind spending money, I recommend the Synology Diskserver line. (It's Linux under the hood.) Been happy with ours for years. It has a simple GUI and is pretty much "set and forget." Just insert 5 disks, let it set up the RAID for you, then create a backup volume, and done. It also works as a TimeMachine server and SMB server for your other OSes at home. It also comes with software packages for managing a photo collection, running a home monitoring system, and other stuff. Sure, you could do the same thing with any Linux server. The advantage with Synology is its simplicity. I have a model DS1511+. -- Dan Barrett [email protected] _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
