I'll just download the developer package for OS X that lets me create my own ZFS pools (using Terminal, not for GUI-dependent users). I did it last year with an earlier version, and not only is ZFS lightning fast, even with slow USB 2.0 drives, it's pretty reliable already. I can see why Apple's ready to add it to OS X officially with the next version. Time to use a file system not born in the 90s. :-D

With that, I can buy a couple 1TB drives and support them myself for $0.00.]]>Jul 29th 2008 12:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/29/dattos-z-series-worlds-first-on-off-site-backup-solution-to/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/29/dattos-z-series-worlds-first-on-off-site-backup-solution-to/Jul 29th 2008 1:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/29/dattos-z-series-worlds-first-on-off-site-backup-solution-to/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/29/dattos-z-series-worlds-first-on-off-site-backup-solution-to/
At the very least you could just download ZFS yourself and build a small storage server.

Or if you understand FS technology, you could just use any Windows Box or NTFS supported storage server.

In terms of FS's the only thing that comes close to features and reliability of NTFS is ZFS. People don't seem to get that NTFS is something the OSS and UNIX community has been shooting for in terms of speed and features for a long time now.

ZFS is cool, but only because it is the first OSS/UNIX FS to offer these level of abilities, with acceptable performance, even though it does fall behind some of NTFS's features, and vise versa. - Go Wiki this stuff.

They both are journalled FS's with Copy on Write abilties, putting them ahead of the 99% of what others are using, and these features are key to both data stabilitiy and advanced features like volume/file level versioning.

Sometimes not all data is backed up to an online server, thats when you need data recovery of the storage drive that held the data.
