Maybe next year. This year is for getting this thing started at all, and get the backups going. Therefore I opted for most possible space with some redundancy. Not the best solution, but workable. >> As it is now, the 2TB shebang is mounted as /backup.

Symlink's probably the easiest way to do it. Thanks for the hint.
