Richard, ..are you using RAID disk technology for storage, and if so , what RAID level ? This certainly is a consideration.... -----Original Message----- From: Association for Recorded Sound Discussion List [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Richard L.

I don't think I'm buying. A managed IT-approach to file storage should be safe. Single, stand-alone hard drives are not, IMHO, safe. When the ground thaws this spring, I'll have a 1 TB store at my neighbor's mirroring my 1TB store in my home. Most of the items also live on either two separate physical drives in the store as well as on the mirror store or on each of the stores and a PC. So, I end up with 4 copies in two physical locations, but on 4 different drives, or 3 copies in 3 physical locations. Cheers, Richard Richard L.
