I suggest a simple approach. Use local HDD as your primary backup storage. Use USB only as a backup of your backup. Do not backup directory to USB. Backup to local HDD, then use a tool such as rsync to duplicate your backups onto the USB drives. Under normal situations, always use the local HDD for backups and restores. Use the USB for restores *only* if your local HDD has serious problems. Suggestion: use RAID-1 on the local HDD. -- Dan Langille - http://www.langille.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
