HDs are pretty cheap nowadays and purchasing two for your system instead of one is a perfectly reasonable option. OK, so now you can backup your "in-the-case" system and data complete onto your removable HD, and put it somewhere safe. (Take it home with you if you like) Updating the backup is also VERY simple this way. A big advantage is that if your working "in-the-case" HD falls over, your backup which is little used, is there to install and work immediately. YMMV of course :-) Regards, Brian ----------------------------------------------- This message sent through Adam Internet Webmail http://www.adam.com.au To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
