RAID. I know it's not meant as a backup, and if anything happens to the computer it could take out both drives, but at the moment I have two 3GB drives mirrored, and I do copy stuff to archival DVD. So if anything goes wrong I'm in trouble ... :-) That said, I'm someone for whom things seem to "just work" - until I lend stuff to someone who believes a good bash with a hammer is the fix for any technical gremlin :-) Cheers, Wol
