Well.....my case was definitely supported with the fact that my workstation crapped out on me on Christmas.....and all the data I had for the three years I have been here was saved to the server....thus saved in general......and now that others here are placing their data on the server....I had a pretty easy case to make for an upgrade.....

We just installed(this past Summer) a 1 Terabyte Virtual backup system from Cybernetics. So far so good. We offload 1 week of data at a time for a physical backup incase the Virtuals ever crap out. It's an awsome system to play with.
