Where is your data backed up currently?

I don't want to do that. I want to create some sort of bootable medium that can restore the system to the current state. Sorry I meant it is currently in MD RAID 1. There is no current backup. There is no need for constant backups. If a year from now the system fails (yes I understand if a hard drive physically fails that needs to be addressed first) a year-old backup will be just fine.

Just one word: Katrina. RAID-1 will do nothing for a disaster scenario like flood of the building, collapse of the roof, etc. Real backups, preferably stored somewhere off site.

Just my $0.02USD, Jeffrey
