The speed-limit I see is the CPU of my backup machine (it's _slow_). And as for space .. I bought 6 disks of equal size (though from different manufacturers/product lines, of course - well, yes, I'm paranoid that way), and when only, say, 4 of them will still be working, it'll be time for a capacity-upgrade anyway. cheers, &rw -- -- "Haushaltsvorstand ist immer der, der das Haeusl *nicht* putzt." -- - Kommentar zur letzten Volkszaehlung |
