Thanks all, I appreciate knowing that this is "proven" to work by experience. Backup backup is my mantra, and being able to take my info with me will be great. I esp. like Dennis's idea of naming the portable drive X as I am often confused when the computer starts assigning E F G to my USB devices. Good tip! Thank you, Denise
