this mania for backing up is much worse than the sin of not backing up at all. Usually when you lose data that has not been backed up, apart from the initial shock, it turns out to be a very good thing in the long run. So before spending that one lakh on multiTB Raid 15, just think: Is there no way I can replicate/reconstruct this data if it is lost? -- regards Kenneth Gonsalves Associate, NRC-FOSS [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://nrcfosshelpline.in/web/ _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- [email protected] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Next Event: http://freed.in - September 28-29, 2007 Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/
