Yeah, I went with raid 1.
Big stop just to renew your license to companion. Can I use companion as a verb?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm still playing around at this point, but I am not sure I want to eat the disk for RAID1.I have 2+TB of storage here to be backed up already. There'd be no versioning!
Well, it's all play for now. I'll commit to something over the weekend.

Iomega is sending me a new cable. I can't imagine how the cable that I've been using all this time with no problems suddenly went bad, but I'll be glad if that fixes the problem.

If you go with raid 1 you could use a backup system that backups to zip file. That give you back the space you lose and since zip is non proprietary you can recover even if backup software is not available. Yeah, I know time machine really is better.

I'm just going with out of the box compression. I have no interest in a third party backup tool. I'm already going to have to work something out for the Debian box.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I need that app. I don't care what it does, I NEED IT.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
I got an invite to Google Music Beta last night and started uploading tunes from my iTunes music drive. I have way more music than my Google quota allows, so I'd like to be able to pick and choose which songs get put in the cloud. There's no documented/easy way to do this, but I think I may have noticed an UNdocumented way -- It seems to be giving preference to songs in my iTunes playlists! It's still too early to say for sure what algorithm it's using to choose songs (it's been 17 hours and only 913 songs have been uploaded), but pretty much everything that's already been uploaded is also in one of my non-smart playlists.
