Haven't tried that yet . . .

It's a good question.  I've asked myself the same question, and not answered
it yet.  Should I just use an older PC and load it up with 500gb of storage
and back up everything there?  Then how do I back IT up?  And reliability?
And then do I get to the point of getting a SAN instead?  How far do I take
it?  Oh, wait.  It's just me here.  I'm trying to keep it as simple as
possible. <g>

My motto:

I can learn _anything_, but I can't learn _everything_.
