Happy new year and backup your data!

I wish you all a happy new year. I hope you will have a relaxed and enjoyable year with all what you can wish.
Me I forgot to wish one thing for this year, no hard drive crash. It looks like the main hard drive of my backup server is dead, it is making a lot of funky noises. It is not to bad in the sense that I can always plug another drive and restore the data from the backup of the backup. But this is a lot of wasted time. I wonder if I should put the two 300GB drives in software RAID in the box to not lose the time of reinstall (just a rebuild) and add another external drive I can backup the data on from times to times. The other solution is to switch the box to use opensolaris so I can take benefit of the new ZFS with easy snapshots on the external harddrive.

Um, the opensolaris website is a little messy if you just want to download/burn/install. Anyway, I will wait for my new harddrive to come through the post and then take the decision. I will also buy a USB2 pci card, because the onboard USB controller is only 1.0, which means days to rsync GB of data on the external drive.
