I, on the other hand, have been using GoBack on a couple of different W98 and ME systems for over two years without any problems other than the system performance impact sometimes caused by the frequent GoBack background data backup routines. GoBack has several times been for me the only thing that could fix lost critical data problems caused by system crashes and/or database corruptions. My computers typically run 24 hours/7 days, GoBack protects two internal hard drives on one, has been doing so for over two years with never a problem.
So I guess my mileage varies significantly from yours. Lynn Shelton ----------------- Here is the part to pay attention to. I put Roxio's Go Back software on this drive. It is supposed to be a better restore facility than Microsoft's included restore function. After another two days of restoring, Go Back which puts a proprietary overlay over your partitions and shows them as non-DOS, scrambled the data on both drives. HDNW, which is very good at this, couldn't read the partitions had to reformat both drives and reinstall the operating system (Windows ME) from scratch. Do not use Go Back under any circumstances!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! God loves a good backup, so I had almost everything on CD's or on my portable, but it is going to take awhile. No sympathy cards please, but I had to bitch about my misfortune before warning about Go Back.
