Greetings All,

As most of you reading this forum are into disaster recovery solutions, I thought you would enjoy this. It makes for some good bedtime reading.

Damn; Certainly helped put me to sleep :o
IS that an early promotion for FDISR Server ?? ;D

Actually i found the core info quite frightening: extrapolating it back to "home" users makes local redundacy even more important. ( although the statistical modelling prolly cant really apply)
If I read it right MTTF may mean very little to single disc.
For interesting read about significance of 'mean' in real life read Stephen Jay Gould: "Life's Grandeur"
