Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I am considering switching backup mode from tape drives to hard drives. The plan would involved copying files to two removable hard drives. Here are my two questions: 1. On freeebsd, are files stored in the system on on the drive? 2. Can freebsd handle hot swapple disks? (We would like to minimize turning the machine on and off). Thanks, Melanie To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
