color=#0000ff size=2>Those hard drives get HOT. (yeah, I probably didn't
need the caps). So if you use a cartridge type system make sure it
has fans or a cooling system. I have one of those external bare-drive
mount devices and I'm not sure I would trust it for prolonged use even though
the drive is free to radiate heat.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

HDD based backup<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>The place we put our tapes off site is a bank safe deposit box, and
I don't think a NAS box would fit. Also, we want to move the backup up
data off site daily, so a weekly rotation wouldn't work either.<BR><BR>Dava H
- I don't think I'll use USB, I'm looking at SATA or eSATA
interface.<BR><BR>As for planning for hard drive failure, I'm ordering a
couple spare drives just for that purpose. I AM concerned about the ruggedness
and longevity of a hard drive moving it around so much, which is one of the
reasons I'm asking this group. <BR><BR>Thanks for the ideas!<BR><BR
