No doubt. The number one most neglected part of backup systems and processes world wide is not testing the recovery/restore process. Mainly because in many cases a thorough test requires either a complete second system, or downtime of the main system. That's not the case here, and anyone can easily test copying all of the files from a CD, DVD, or external drive. Of course, you're still out of luck if you only have the one copy when it starts reporting errors. -- Thanks, DougF (KG4LMZ) -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
