You do see the difference in moving 20MB/sec of _*all*_ the drive versus _*only*_ the files it has? If a 1 TB drive had 1gig of data, yea you get it. Not to mention the obvious size of the image _*even*_ if you pipe into `insert your fav compression` and compress it. The rest of the drive may not have been zeroed so it may not compress etc etc etc ad infinitum. >(FWIW, when I hear "clone", I think "identical".) Yeah but I read between the lines maybe a bit more then I should have. It was a shot in the dark that *if* that was real need, his need would stem from an advanced concept that likely would negate him from needing to ask. Totally my assumption, could be wrong, but I doubt it:) jlc ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm> ~
