One second later at 03:00.01 all your source drives are destroyed by some alien high power laser beam ! do you have a valid copy ? AFAIK : NO you are dead Ron's line is He starts an instant copy at 03.00.00 at 03.00.01 he wants tu use it for some backup process or whatever , Can he do it ? Yes he can But these are 2 different things . I understand Ed because like him i am also running a shop ,and can't rely on such theory , although i know i can use it immediately to create backup and ship it somewhere . but that is not an immediate copy , it is just a make believe copy my 2 cents worth Bruno Bruno(dot)sugliani(at)groupemornay(dot)asso(dot)fr ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
