Yeah. I did too. And it sucked -- big time! Tape wins hands-down in this case. External HDs are an option, but inexpensive 1TB drives seem to be less than reliable. And nothing sucks more than an unreliable backup. May as well save your money and try to get by with no backup at all. -- John (john@xxxxxxxxxxx) -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
