RE: A personal story

Been there –  done that and Thank God for the full back up.  I have restored
our server a couple of times in the past 6 years and I swear by the back ups
that nobody else here will  take seriously, until that fatal moment when
everything they worked on is not available. 
 
Thanks

 I posted this on Low End Mac last night. If anyone ever questions the 
 wisdom of daily backup, have them read this article. We lost a half-day 
 of productivity during trouble-shooting, but once we restored from 
 backup, everything worked perfectly.

 It was the kind of nightmare every information systems manager dreads: 
 the server kept crashing.
 
 I spent most of last Friday morning wrestling our AppleShare IP server 
 back into shape. It had crashed twice after I left Thursday afternoon -- 
 and then at least four more times Friday as I tried to fix things.
 
 Fortunately we were prepared. Here's how you can be prepared when 
 disaster strikes.
 
 Back Up Everything
 
 I can't say enough about backup

RE: CPU speed vs. Network speed?

I have a first generation G3 beige desktop tower I am using as a server and
the Retrospect runs from there without problems.  I back up to DDS-3 Data
tape.

Thanks

  What would give better performance, a G3 upgrade to the 6100 or a 100
  base T card. I can only do one since the 6100 only has one slot.
 
 Go with the G3 upgrade. The 6100 bus is too slow to benefit from a 100Mbps
 Ethernet card, but the G3 card will at least allow it to maximize the
 existing SCSI and network I/O.
 
 In reality, they'd be better off buying a first-generation G3 box
 instead...one of the original beige desktops or minitowers wouldn't cost
 much more than a G3 upgrade for the 6100, and it would be a much better
 backup server.
