My backup requirements...
Could possibly be filled by the following:
one of these
Western Digital Caviar SE16 500GB SATA2 16MB 7200RPM
and one of these:
Maxtor DiamondMax 11 500GB SATA2 16MB 7200RPM
configured as RAID1. Different drives are used to minimise the possibility of simultaneous failure - something that is marginaly higher risk with disks from the same manufacturing run / supplier.
Then slap them into one of these:
Infrant Ready NAS 600
Then leave that running either in my borthers or my mothers house when they get broadband.
I'll have another setup much like this in my own apartment that will be synced with the remote server.
Then I have a few options - maybe a subversion repository, possibly an automated system using rsync - who knows.
All I know is there won't be any more DVD burning sessions - yay!
