Incorrect title. This is about Paragon's ntfs driver, not nfs3.

I really did get a kick out of some of these responses. I sell data protection products for a living and 20TB is what I would consider an average small/medium customer. Every business these days has tens of terabytes of data. Of course they all need to backup their data, so there is nothing novel here. We have plenty of customers backing up hundreds of petabytes of data. Every dataset just needs a plan for backup, pretty simple.
The way I see it, this guy has a few options. One option is to just get more disk and make redundant a redundant copy. This would have have saved him in this case of the mistakenly erased raid, depending on how smart his sync script is. But a redundant copy is not a valid genuine backup plan. So many types of failures will show the holes of the dumb redundant copy.
The other option for a home user who's not looking to spend a bunch of money, is LTO6. They hold a sufficiently large amount of data, so only a handful of tapes will be needed. LTO6 drives are cheap enough, they won't break the bank. Since the data is on tape, you can shuttle the tapes to an off site location. Seems pretty simple.
Submission + - XP SP3 crashes AMD machines 1
Stony Stevenson writes: The long-awaited and much-delayed update to Windows XP, Service Pack 3, is giving owners of machines with AMD hardware headaches aplenty it seems. The problems, which first arose just one day after the push, have been causing lots of noise on Microsoft support sites and angry user blogs. Angry have reported that, after the installation, it is not even possible to boot in safe mode, usually the last resort before setting up a repeated forehead/screen interface. It appears to affect only AMD-equipped PCs sold by Hewlett-Packard. "The problem is that HP, apparently along with other OEMs, deploys the same image to Intel-based computers that they do to AMD-based computers," said Jesper Johansson, a former program manager for security policy at Microsoft.
