That is really messed up!

What are the model of your Proliants? I would love to get an old DL380. I have a ML350 G5, a DL145 G2, and a DL380 G2. ML was the server case i think rather the rack like the two DL's. Nice a DL380 G2..... great server like the old Compaq 1500's! Compaq made the best raid controllers..... I miss Compaq. You are correct. The ML is a tower case style where the other 2 are rack mount. One thing I do like about the ML style is that it doesn't take up a lot of space. Also to note is that I can use regular SATA drives in the ML350 and DL145 where the DL380 is a bit older, uses SCSI drives.

You can, you could have every computer in your house that connects to your network send it's back up to your external drive. I know it's possible, I can't tell you how to do it, cause networking ain't my strong suit, but these guys here should be able to. I know this is how my pop-in-law does his. His desktop, 2 laptops, and a desktop on his living room TV all backup to the same external drive connected to his main desktop. and he can access that drive from any one of the computers. I guess it's basically making it a server of sorts. it is not hard to setup.. you can have the the drive hooked to one PC, create a share to a folder of you choice, map the drive to the folder shared and it is like a local drive. Run backups.. and ur done. Instead of going to the external you can have one PC backup to the other PC so the external is not plugged in all the time (bad idea) then just have the other PC's backup include the other PC's. I can help you setup if you want. If you ask Pinglo how to he starts talking about clouds. His head is always in the clouds. hahahahaha Ideally, with an external drive, if you can get one that plugs into your router, then no need to have a PC on to share the drive as the external would be available at all times through the router. But what hxtr said will work as well.

I have my hard drive partitioned once. C for OS and installed programs and D for all my personal files and certain files backed up from C so when I run a back up, I simply back up D. I have 2 HP ProLiant servers running in my basement so everyone in my home backs their stuff up to their own space on the server. Backups are important these days with so much information being kept electronic, some of which, who cares if you loose, and others such as family photos that are irreplaceable.

Kind of a catch 22... It's good to be able to pick up ammo. Will have to try that /+activate.

Glad you like it buddy!

NFL... Sweet. Nice job Cavey.

Welcome to >XI<.

That was good. haha!

Our little/big guy Baxxter who is almost a year old http://www.xtremeidi...-family-member/ now has a little brother. Zeus is 4 months old. He is another mix breed, part of which we understand to be Australian Shepherd and Lab. Like Baxxter, he is also a rescued pup from an unfit or unwanting home. From the size of his paws, I think he is going get bigger than his older brother. He weighs in about 30lbs already. And can he eat...

Here he is now (taken in Feb).

A little Tea Party today.

Thanks for the heads up Labab.

Seen a few awesome sigs lately so thought I'd take that Q to refresh my own.

Very cool Arrienn. Nice job.
