OT Backup

[Rodney Tamblyn]

Stu,

This might only be tangentially relevent, but you may want to consider 
using Firewire networking if you are shifting that amount of data 
around - this is supported in OSX.3

I use it regularly to shift files between Macs (e.g. PowerBook and 
desktop machines) and it works great.
