If the data is not worth $200 to you, then by all means you are free to ignore the need for backup, but eventually you will lose at least some, if not all, of the data. Although an on-line backup system is very handy, it is not absolutely essential. You could employ dar or some similar utility to backup the data to individual off-line disks, for example. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
