It doesn't have to go into a 1U chassis, fortunately. In fact, I'm assuming that I will be adding *some* kind of external housing to whichever of my hosts I designate as the new full-backup storage server. the principal question is what kind of housing. And just use Bacula's vchanger, you say? I've never actually played with that yet. ...Actually, thinking about it, Bacula doesn't even have to be involved directly in the removable storage part of the equation. I could just manually move, or even copy, FULL file volumes to a removable drive after the full backup completes. So maybe all I *REALLY* need is an external — or even internal — hotswap SAS housing and a bunch of trays and 4TB drives. -- Phil Stracchino Babylon Communications ph...@caerllewys.net p...@co.ordinate.org Landline: +1.603.293.8485 Mobile: +1.603.998.6958
