for most people backing up there one computer is all they want.
casper is faster then burning a dvd and unlike a image the backup drive can
be booted from and you have complete access to the files from the backup.
like if you accidently delete a file you can do this within windows with
speech access.
it takes me 10 hours to burn a image of 40gb of data to dvd. and if the
disc is bad even longer.
it only takes 30 minutes to image to another hard drive with image for
windows.
when useing mobil racks with casper you , depending on your computer do not
have to change the jumpers on the two drives for master and slave when
swapping drives. the jumper is changed to c s instead of master and slave
for both drives. then when you swap drives the drives will automatically
change between master and slave.

i don't know if these jumper settings apply to a sada drive.
I just don't see the advantage of all of this work. Casper from
http://www.fssdev.com works and allows me to accomplish the same thing as
long as I'm willing to change the boot order of my hard drives and it
functions within Windows and talks completely. No it isn't a sector by
sector image, but that isn't really necessary 99.9 percent of the time
since it does do a complete file copy.
