Only thing I would recommend is this.
For $80 you can pick up a Linxsys NSLU2. It allows for the connection of 2
USB drives. Allowing unattended overnight mirror from one drive to the
other. I have lost two good name USB drives in the last year, so I refuse
to accept anything less now.
As an added bonus...
It's seen as a server in Network Neighborhood. It has it's own following on
Yahoo about as active as this group because it's been hacked and has several
Linux firmware versions out there. I use mine for the purpose intended as
well as for disk to disk backup of several shares from other servers and an
FTP server.
For the money, it makes USB drives so much more valuable and safe.
Did I mention it's smaller than most USB drives and has no moving parts?
Anyway, just my thoughts.
