The "servers" are all running XP (since it's all domestic then
the drives
and arrays are shared rather than having quotas and security set up - I did
have it like that but it just wasn't necessary - so I use XP and then can
just remote desktop over to the servers if I need to do anything locally on
them.

I do have a DDS4 DAT drive that I can use to archive off anything that I
consider to be really important - but given that most of the data is
recreateable (it's just a matter of time, effort and boredom at feeding
DVD's into a couple of drives and ripping them) then in my case it was more
practical to just assume that a drive going down would result in x amount
of
work to recreate and take that as a known and accepted limitation.

Always do...
