Wow mate that is a hell of an idea you have going there. You obviously did a lot more individual development than I did, but then again I was working largely in Machine code for Att and people like that so it was up to them to maintain the actual data.
But with what I do now, I can see where grouping different functions onto separate drives would be a really great idea.
Yeah, I do actually hate Retrospect, especially these days, but I did not know I could get Rsync to do tapes and like you I am a data paranoiac. Most of my data is at least triple backed up and you introducing me to Superduper has been a lifesaver. No I have not checked out Ruby on Rails yet but I will, that your work??.
This has definitely been one of the handiest forums I have been on, and most of the tips have come from you so they are much appreciated.
If you have any tips after going over my Sys Profile I would appreciate hearing them.
Of course Zbrush has to be the prime focus here as that is about the only App that gives me any hassle and for an App that won’t work on Intel Systems, It seems to work just fine as soon as itr takes so to speak.
I just like to know, that all I pretty much need to do if a problem happens, is swap in a new drive and pull back what is needed and continue. Usually no more than an hour down time. Not everyone needs this, most people don’t backup, archive or in anyway attempt to make their lives easier. Sooner or later, the will wish they had!
