[Ti] Backing up using ip over firewire.

[Eric]

this might be slightly off topic but lacie has an ethernet enabled 
backup drive that i've been looking into.

http://www.lacie.com/products/product.htm?pid=10601

seems as if it might make this all much easier and seamless.

beyond simply backing up, my question is whether it's possible to keep 
all my music on it and access it over the network.   lacie's response 
to this question is it depends upon whether itunes will permit this.
