[[ Most people buy the biggest drive they can get when they buy their computer so that it will last them as long as possible, or at best, buy it at the sweet spot, which is usually one size behind the largest drive available. That makes it really hard to make a usable backup on another hard drive, as a single backup of the entire drive will completely fill any backup drive you can buy.

--What, you never heard of COMPRESSED BACKUPS? Compressed FOLDERS? RAR???:b;-)
o Buy (2) 500GB HDs o Use as JBOD (non-RAID) o Backup ENTIRE HD **ONCE** with Compression to 2nd HD
o Backup ESSENTIAL files that you don't want to lose after that, to 4-8GB DVD+R discs AND the 500GB spare drive, COMPRESSED. Use RAR to split archives into multiple files with Recovery data (5% is what I use.)
Hey Moog - feel free to contact me offline if you'd be up for some serious Biblical discussions. Would be glad to help you find answers to your questions.:)
--Every serious Bible scholar knows that the NIV is not to be used for Serious Bible Study.:P
--Try a couple of different versions (recognized by scholars wolrdwide as USEFUL FOR STUDY) - before you shoot off your mouth in public and make yourself look like a fool.
--I've been anxiously awaiting FBSD7 myself; playing around with it in Vmware Server with a 7-disk SCSI rack (physical disk access) for ZFS. So far it's nice, but when a disk died I found out a huge limitation with Server - continuous prompts on the host that FREEZE the ENTIRE VM until the disk got cut from the ZFS pool and the VM was rebooted.
I like / admire GT as well; but there's no way it'll be "permanently" named after him until someone goes out there in a rock-rock-rocketship and lasers " Hikaru Sulu - George Takei, we'll always love ya " into it. ;-)

Perhaps it utilizes a flux capacitor - and can thus do single OR double, depending on requirements of the moment? ;-)
