Can add something more.. Not only make regulary backup's, but (on a sccrath drive TEST a restore) (If that fails, you actually made backup to an /dev/null device ;-) ** Besides that, avoid Lacie. My primary backup was on a etherdisk , worked fine for a year, but suddenly stopped. Secondary backup, something else from Lacie, an usb-disk, failed next week. Could be coincidence, and their product might work perfectly for other people, by i can nut put any trust in them anymore... So i would suggest, multiple backups, not using equipment from one brand. hw ** nice true story about backups, i encoutered some years ago at my previous employer: One of their big customers were told that their IT-department should make regularly backups of their data.

One year leater we found out accidentily that the operator disn't used five cardriges, used just one five times over, and stored it safely in an atomic prove safe.
