You need data volumes larger than a single drive can handle. My DVD archive NAS is just under 4TB (5x 1TB drives in RAID 5 to take off the RAID/file system overhead and the 1000 vs 1024 measurments). And I *really* don't want to have that seperated out into different drives. Yes there is risk of my NAS box hosing all the data, but at least reduced the risk of loosing data due to drive failure. Same goes for my music library, photo archive and general network share NAS box. This is the one I need to backup though. -- funkstar ------------------------------------------------------------------------ funkstar's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2335 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=50299 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
