As opposed to what? When you need to be able to back up to a drive on your network?
- hughw 9mo agoMounting a file system on a network share tightly couples the client to the server. It’s synchronous and it’s easy to leave the file system in an inconsistent state. Much more robust to build an asynchronous protocol with your own logic as rdbms do. You don’t see rdbms mounting remote file systems do you?
