Archives
and Backups are completely different things. I have never said it was a
backup. From the time I mentioned it, I described it as an archive.

Ok so thats clear. This system at work is for Archiving. I guess when
Ray
was asking about Backups I assumed that you were talking about them. Im
not
sure why you mentioned Archiving as it is completely different, other
than
the fact you were using a hd on another machine as an Archive. That's
now
perfectly clear.

I said quote "I would not trust a backup to a single hd
disk."  Can I say
that any other way? I think I've worded it 3 times now.
I don't. I'm free to do that. Your free to trust it. You do. I respect
your
right to do so.

>As I said, the "one disk" we keep talking about is an
Archive, not a
Backup.

I understand that you have 2 separate disks in 2 machines on a lan in
both
locations.

The one at work is an Archive. I can understand the reasons for this.

I think I've cleared up the only misrepresenting you've bought up here.
I
understood your position completely from every post.

The fact is Ray already had your style system before he asked about dvd
writers, (thats what this thread was about!) and is asking about
replacing
it. He bought it up a while ago.

I just pointed out your different levels of trust in it in the 2
different
environments you
described.

To summarise Mark. 2 Disks in 2 machines on a lan. One stores a copy of
the
others data.

At Work = not trusted for backups.
At Home = trusted for backups.

Now costs come into this. I accept that. But for me even on a budget I
wouldn't trust it. I did and I got burned.
(Just about to hit send and Ray pipes up with the fact he's buying a
dvd
writer tomorrow!)
