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? You've got to be kidding. How do you replicate/reconstruct thousands of photos taken over years, carefully categorized and tagged. Videos taken on family vacations / stage performance by family members... recordings of music composed by you... need I go on? Of course, not *everything* is worth backing up, but that is up to the individual to decide. I would say that the need for a solid backup strategy in home setups is about the same, if not more, than in corporate environments. Of course the backup solution needs to be appropriate for the need, so low-budget and technically sound solutions based on FOSS and inexpensive storage devices is the way to go. ~ViM ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org 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/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
