Hey guys and gals, bit of a vague question but i'm just thinking about options at the moment.
I want to back up my ibooks data and figure i have 2 options, external hard drive or to another pc on my network.
I think i can get hold of an old pc for free so i'm leaning that way. But i need to know how complex it os to set up an old PC as a file server (right term??) on my network.
Does it have to be fairly up to date, speed or OS wise, or will anything with a decent sized hard drive do.
Any links to websites would be appreciated, i'm all googled out
