Topicbox-Message-UUID: 84147748-ead6-11e9-9d60-3106f5b1d025 --0016e644df4adf0f700495427b99 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 I'm giving consideration to maintaining a venti-based setup for my house for all the digital media we have (since getting our Apple TV, we've had more stuff to stream around the house). I've just now started playing with things like vac/unvac, to backup and extract trees of my HFS+ file system and I wonder about a few things. What do people do if they ever lose their venti scores? Seems like this is "handle-less" data now, and fairly useless. I figure I could keep a vac archive of venti scores, then I'd only need to "remember" one, and name the files I store the scores in reasonably, but if that's lost... what are my options?
