You cannot replace Backups with a RAID system...a RAID system is just fine to help you in cas of a hardware failure, but if a disk driver/user/hacker goes wild you are in big trouble 'cause the data is gone on all disks. I had the very same discussion in many companies; the MBA guys try to tell you there is no need for a backup (Backup is essentially an unneeded "loss center" for them) since they have installed a RAID system... ;-) CU, Stefan -- Stefan Giessler e-mail: sgiessler@gmx.net artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@sistina.com http://lists.sistina.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://www.sistina.com/lvm/Pages/howto.html
