Let's just say that I've had a Coraid box (actually 2) for almost 4 months and still haven't moved any data onto it permanently. I really like that you built your own server - it looks much better then my Coraid unit. :/ It also runs Debian (which I love) instead of Plan 9 (which just cornfuses me). Later... Richard BTW: I think I'm going to steal your "backup RAID1 mirror" idea! I think a trio of 1TB disks would do nicely for an offsite backup plan. Thanx!
