This is all such Greek to me. I really think there is a need for somebody (Brian and LUG gurus) to come up with a plan. Tell me - here is what you buy, here is how you program it, here is how you recover from disaster. What do I need to protect my photos - many, many terabytes - as I try to work from two offices? Drobo? NAS? JBOD? If it is something I've never heard of like NAS, is there a tutorial? Can I buy a package deal? If I can't buy a package deal, would this not be a wonderful opportunity for someone (Brian and LUG gurus) to provide one? I'll pay for it!! Just do it very, very quickly. THANKS!! Tina PS: To show you how desperate I am, my husband (now retired) has contacted the IT expert at his former company who managed to screw up every computer program ever conceived to try to help me with my external drive. NO!! (He knows what a bad mood I'm in when computers don't do what I want them to and would do anything to make that right) ;-)
