Is possible; I donno enough about the workings of Thunderbird to say really. Always do your primary backup with nothing else running. With incrementals, it's a judgement call... Backing up files while other apps are running / using the HD, is always a hit'n'miss proposition. FWIW, I've seen Eudora get a death grip on mailboxes, causing SuperDuper to hang. So now I quit Eudora at 5pm daily, just in case, right before my scheduled CCC incremental job runs at 5:01). (even tho I've never seen such a problem with CCC). I also dismount my encrypted sparse images, so CCC backs them up fully. - Dan. -- - Psychoceramic Emeritus; South Jersey, USA, Earth. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
