That's what I have now. It works well. That way if one machine blows up
or you come into the room the next day and find cut cables and a dust
shadow where the box used to be, you've got some recourse. I also have
CD-ROMs off-site for the irreplaceable stuff, so even if there was a
complete loss (fire, say), the data would live on.

Looking forward to having 4.7G per disk, though.

Best regards,
