Hello, and sorry for replying so late... I've been busy with lots of other things. I don't know - if my backup server could use eSATA I would use that anyway. I'm pretty sure, though, that the eSATA

Hi, I had a "situation" today where I needed to recover my /boot directory. Not bad that I have backups I thought. But then I got a restore error. I already restored from time to time stuff with bacu

Do you know if this will also happen with eSATA? There are several external cases with eSATA+USB-2.0 ports. I could grab those if this will help but I'm not sure if the eSATA connection is also wrapp
