Actually worked with a company that used the regular Vista backup program to backup computers to a NAS. Worked fine with small systems, but some of the larger ones failed to complete pretty frequently. Was quite annoying to get working right, since it took forever to complete the process on slower comps. Should work better with your external drive and hopefully they made some improvements to it on Windows 7.

WEll that sounds fairly promising if a company used it lol. Plus i think if im gonna partition the drive out to about 5 different oartitions it should never have to back up too much at once and even if it does have to im planning on it being a nice and fast computer lol Smile. Probably just limited by the fact that the external drive is only USB2 so will be nice and slow Smile lol.

Which Seagates had the huge failure rate and then the firmware by Seagate which bricked a whole bunched of 500gb drives? was that the 11 or 12 series?

To the OP, i'd seriously look into this. And a word of advice, don't have ANYTHING on the raid 0 partition you can't afford to lose. I'm super cereal about it.

Lol it was the 11 series, i made sure i looked into it with looking into running 2 of them raid0 lol. And the setup will have all my stuff on the RAID0 drives but it will be backed up each week i think Smile.
Still thinking about it though
