Kind of off-topic, but... |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
For backups, I prefer a bunch of disks in a RAID configuration. After all, |
| 43 |
what good is an online backup system if the data becomes corrupted without |
| 44 |
me realizing it... |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
I heard QNAP makes good ones. Or I can always make an LVM-based one, |
| 47 |
booting off a USB stick. Still considering which route to take, though... |
| 48 |
The former is more expensive, but the latter is not that much cheaper |
| 49 |
either, considering I have to build a complete system with a honkin' big |
| 50 |
casing + honkin' big PSU to feed them hard drives... |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
And neither provides an off-site backup... |
