This would work with a fast usbstick as well? With quite good results I 
expect, and not much problems if it wears out, and perhaps cheaper than 
a ssd. Or could I put in 4 usbsticks and create a raidset from it, and 
store the journal on there? ;) Perhaps stupid, but worth a shot. Depends 
on what you're using the backupserver for i guess. SSD is probably more 
reliable for a bigger shop.
