Yes, that's clear and exactly why it's so dangerous. Yes, a constant backup is the only way to ensure that you don't lose a day or a week or a month's updates, but I consider that to be a very small amount of work to duplicate considering the potential danger. You can always backup more often if you consider it too risky. You're essentially implementing another level of RAID, protecting against an increasingly unlikely catastrophic event, rather than a backup solution. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=100561 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
