funny since suddently I feel so paranoid about HDD's failing, so I got a 200Gig for my server so I can use it for data only, and use the 100gig partition of the other drive, to backup stuff from the 200gig. I think I finally figured out the tar command to make it compress, so I can easly fit 200GB of data on the 100GB partition if compressed. Most of my data is text so it compresses well.
