Hi Chuck, I have been reading your thread. I was figuring on running a dual internal system and continuing to backup on my 2 externals. These will need to be upgraded as time goes on as I have a 350gb and a 160gb. They currently handle about 40gb from my laptop and the 120gb from the desktop, in addition to being the only places where my pix are (both externals). And some of my archived projects are on them. But I realize as the internal storage grows, the external backups need to as well. 20 years in IT with redundant backups did teach me something. :) Thanks, Diane --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
