Well Max - this is what I am exactly trying to work out. The idea I had is to buy a Buffalo Linkstation. It's an external harddrive which you can link to your PC either via a wireless network or hardwired. Besides having an external drive which can be in a physical different location than your PC (in case your whole PC drowns/burns etc.) you can also run slimserver on it. This means you do not have to have your PC running in order to use your Squeezebox. You simply mirror whatever you have on your PC onto the Linkstation and you're done. So you've got a backup solution AND a way of not having to run your PC all the time.
The only thing is and that's what I am trying to find out is - the Linkstation is not supposed to run any software on it but some clever people found a way around this. The only thing I don't know is if this workaround does still work with the latest Linkstations... Anyone any idea?

This sort of thing scares me a lot. I reckon I'll have spent 36 hours ripping all my music when I'm done, and there will be around 100GB of data. How do you go about backing this sort of thing up? The only really feasible thing I can think of is to buy a second hard disk and use RAID 1 (mirrored pair of disks). After that, I just have to hope that something doesn't happen that takes out the whole computer. Has anyone else got any workable solutions? -- max.spicer The wild things roared their terrible roars and gnashed their terrible teeth and rolled their terrible eyes and showed their terrible claws but Max stepped into his private boat and waved good-bye _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
