And guess whose drive died yesterday with ominous noises? Happily, the cron initiated rsyncX backup meant that everything except yesterdays work was on a second hard drive. Upset at loosing one days work, relieved only to be loosing one days work. OK. I'm going to tweak the backup scripts right now to reflect the name of my new hard drive.
