Is it possible to use a raid system please? Or would it be better to use a good backup system. What I would love to do is to have the thin clients running of a PIII - I'll stick in a gig of ram. Then also have a mac and windows box running of the network. It would be useful if all systems could then backup to a central backup system. Is that possible please?
