- Hey all. We run a small lab of diverse machines, and maintain a log of all
- problems/bugs/annoyances we encounter. At present the log is on paper,
- maintained by hand. We've toyed with the idea of getting a low-end PowerBook
- for use as a dedicated electronic bug log. But of course the data in the
- log is vital, thus my question: is it possible to have 2 hard drives connected
- to a PowerBook so that one mirrors the other? Short of that, are there any
- backup programs that can be configured to automatically back up the PB's
- data to another machine (not necessarily a Mac) on a net, on a daily basis?
-
- Responses by E-mail please, and I'll summarize if there's interest.

- Thanks,
- -- Jeff R.
