Greg, I completely agree with your personal metrics. I've seen the same with my minimal SDT-7000 tape unit on my server, so kudos to your reality mirror for now. But, in the future as users do movies, music, yards of emaiil, and whatever, the file load can only get out of hand. Quickly! Correct? That's where I was focused on. I've lived thru the past. I look to the future. Hmm. :) JMHO. Best, Duncan
