Thanks. BTW: At Algorithmics, we used the WD MyBook as our backup device. It was a BusyBox system and quite slow. I had it set up as an rsnapshot engine. Power fails could cause some problems. We also backed up to our NYC office. Not sure what I will do yet. BTW: One advantage of buying disks separately is to mitigate the multiple simultaneous failure issue by avoiding 2 drives with the same lot #. I have also heard good things about the HP microserver.
