Sorry - I meant -"don't use RAID for backup"- - yes - RAID is -high availability-, not backup! If high availability is what you need, go ahead.....just have a backup as well! It just gets my goat because I see so many NAS/RAID devices marketed as backup and "never lose another file" and all that BS. There is going to be a lot of sorry people out there! -- amey01 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ amey01's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11274 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=68174 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
