[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1716673, member: 56379"] What sort of "crash" are we talking about? - If the "crash" was storage related…all you need is a clone of your computer's storage…not a whole 2nd computer. This can easily be accomplished via some software & external hard drive. - If the "crash" was something like needing a new logic board (or something like that)…that's a different story. But…given that this sort of thing is VERY RARE. Purchasing a 2nd computer as a backup to the primary computer again is sort of extreme. In any scenario (having two computers like this)…both computer's would need to be perpetually synced…since you would never know when one of the computers would "crash". - Nick [/QUOTE]
