Re: Hard disk copying
I had bundles of hassle with tape drives and worried what would happen if
the
machine chewed itself - fine, I'd have the tape, but no easy way to access
it.
These days I have a scheduled MSDOS xcopy of all data files at 3am from one
HD
to another over my network to another machine . Very basic, but it has
always
worked reliably, and even if the mirrored machine eats itself, I have my
files...
