Thank you Neil, you saved me (along with my not touching anything). On Sun 26 December 2010 13:14:32 you wrote: > Excellent save!!!

Actually I have much too much data to back anything up, so I've been stalling for over a year on building a backup server. It's fixin' to happen now, you betcha. A cube case with ITX and a BTRFS array the same size as my RAID10. NoMachine NX over SSH for admin. It'll be in a far corner of the garage down low, so if a fire or theft I don't lose my data. I'll sync it with the main over GBethernet, at some interval, in some way (suggestions?), but keep it offline most of the time. All my systems are named after constellations, so this will be called "Gemini".
