  - i was gonna ask you about that - tRuMaN Oct 13, 14:07 2
    - I think the only issue is that it doesn't make it easy to back up to or from network drives (it can be done but it's not simple) - oblique Oct 13, 14:09 1
      - well, for me it would be right off the server - tRuMaN Oct 13, 14:12
- i am just gonna build a home server, and use some type of redundent backup (raid, something). - tRuMaN Oct 13, 14:03 4
  - RAID is not backup, FYI - oblique Oct 13, 14:04 3
    - well, sure. it is and isnt, its a backup for the prevention of a drive failure - tRuMaN Oct 13, 14:05 2
      - RAID won't help you when your files get corrupted or something eats the partition table - oblique Oct 13, 14:08 1
        
        oh I know, I am actually going to use windows home server - tRuMaN Oct 13, 14:10
