Backup/RAID dillema

[William Ashworth]

Cliff,

Why don't you throw another hard drive in and run off of another
pre-installed IDE channel?  Obviously, if you're already using all your
channels, this wouldn't work, but it's probably the cheapest method since
people normally pay mucho $$$ for bandwidth.

A second server is usually too much $$$ unless you already have a second
need for another server.  Using CVSup to another server, however, could be
the answer that you're looking for assuming you have your own network and
aren't shelling out mega bucks for a second server.

CVSup updates only files needing to be updated (i.e., the newer files
only),...if you want, thus saving bandwidth.

Hope this helps!

Thanks,
Will Ashworth
