Oh, I see, you're referring to the backup point I made. The vortexbox backup to USB option works just fine. I just don't bother with it. I've setup my network with all gigabit switches, etc. and my laptop and VBA is gigabit. When doing the backup I plug the laptop in to a switch (so it is direct ethernet) and I recall it takes only 6 or 7 hours to copy about 70,000+ files. Set it to copy before going to bed, and all done in the morning. And I only do a full backup once every few months. I manage stuff in between with incremental copies of my new music to all my various backup places.... -- garym System 1: Vortexbox Appliance (1.10) > SbS 7.6.2 > Transporter, Touch, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio) System 2: Win7(64) laptop > SbS 7.6.2 > Touch>Benchmark DAC I, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio and laptop) Retired: SB3, Duet Receiver Controlled at both locations with: iPhone (iPeng), iPad (iPengHD & SqueezePad), CONTROLLER, or SqueezePlay 7.6 on Win7(64) laptop Ripping (FLAC) - dbpoweramp, Additional Tagging - mp3tag ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=90827 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
