My worse case scenario is that the laptop goes down with a hardware fault and corrupt drive. This would mean that I would probably lose everything except my html and php web pages. What I would like is some detailed instructions on the best way to back these up. I have HDD's that can be connected via USB if necessary or I could place backups on my main PC which is easier to switch on. As the main system content of the server only changes once a week when I download updates I initially require a backup to restore the system with my main settings. This could just be a monthly backup as downloading the updates is not a major issue. I would be quite happy to mainly backup the mySQL databases on a regular basis. Isn't Mondo supposed to be good?

I've heard the same story as Robert - don't use laptop drives in servers. They're not engineered to withstand constant running. OTOH I believe all 3.5inch Seagate drives are now guaranteed for 5 years. If audible noise is a problem, what I've got running at home is a fanless Jetway board with an old Seagate 20GB drive and a 1U power supply. With the hard drive sitting on acoustic isolators (rubber bands) the only noise you can hear is the power supply fan - because it's a small fan and needs to spin at relatively high RPM. With the noisy little case fans removed from a Venus 669 case, that too is almost inaudible. Dave
I took a look at Mondo and found that this has only been compiled for FC4 / 5 so it is not ready for FC6. Paul
