It looks pretty good for > disc-disc backup. I am using storeBackup for three years now and LOVE it. I am backing up three servers to two independent backup servers and get a new backup every four hours. storeBackup uses hard links on the target disk, so you do not need much physical space on the backup servers. A backup of a 250GB server takes less than 15 minutes. This is certainly no solution if you need an insurance against hardware failures, but it is a perfect backup to store densely older versions of the server content. Having the servers and the backup servers on RAID6 and having storeBackup makes me sleep well. best regards --- Michael Schumacher PAMAS Partikelmess- und Analysesysteme GmbH Dieselstr.10, D-71277 Rutesheim Tel +49-7152-99630 Fax +49-7152-996333 Geschäftsführer: Gerhard Schreck Handelsregister B Stuttgart HRB 252024
