BM> Does anyone do this already? Or is this a new concept? Or has this concept
BM> been discussed before and abandoned for some reasons that I don't yet know?
BM> I use the physical architecture of a basic web application as an example in
BM> this post, but this concept could of course be applied to most server
BM> systems. It would allow for the hardware-separation of volatile and
BM> non-volatile disk images. It would be analogous to performing nightly
BM> ghosting operations, only it would be more efficient and involve less (or
BM> no) downtime.

BM> Thanks for any opinions,
