Instead of shelling out big bucks for a new technology, why not just back up onto a couple of big drives?

Hard drives are CHEAP now - get a 300GB HD for $300! That's outrageous!!

You can get 300 GB for much cheaper then that. You can get a 400 GB EXTERNAL for less then $300.00.

Ebay you can get a 400gb for around 230.00 with shipping.

That's what we do with the home PC's-- clone the drive, using the drive maker's software.

Where are you buying those? I just bought two 250 gig drives as Christmas presents for a hundred bucks apiece. Add $35 each for external enclosures and they're $135 apiece.

Gosh I'm getting old! I remember when a 10 Megabyte, that's right a 10 MEGABYTE hard drive was around $4000.00 and weighed in at about 90 lbs!

We are living in wonderful times bros!

It'd be nice if XP could handle mirrored disks.
