That, to me, is the real advantage of RDi. Both your PC and your
iSeries are always current and are the back up for each other. The
likelihood of losing both at the same time are quite remote. But if that
is a concern, add svn to your set-up and you are pretty much guaranteed
instant recovery without the hardware hassles. The bigger plus is that
suddenly you are set up for team development.

in my opinion, the days of tape are, blessedly, gone the way of the
quill pen, the cloth diaper, and the cathode ray tube.

I DO save the system before CUME's and OS version jumps, JUST in case.

I need a drive to save to, even if the data isn't important, being
able to get back on my feet is still important.
