All your loveelee precious data is gone ( Yup you guessed it, I've been there ) Went for a Terastation - RAID 5 on 5x 300gb disks plus the option to backup to any other. No client software needed, AND works with a UPS for a clean shutdown if power is lost. You can also plug in USB storage devices, or even a PRINTER Not bad for a tad under 500£ - including the disks Sorry to be the angel of gloom, but hey, I'm a network engineer, its my job :o) Nice idea guys, BUT
