Yes, partly. But more than that, even if you can copy an open file physically, logically you leave yourself open to integrity problems. To copy an open file successfully, either you must control the activity on the file (or know for sure what it is) or you must enlist the OS's cooperation. That's rather hard to overcome. Assuming Suresync copies open files..or better yet it is configured to not copy open files. If one starts with a pair of clones..two identical drives..Drive Image clones the first drive to the second drive. Then one uses a file sync utility like Suresync to maintain identical file structures on both drives..and for argument sake one never boots the second drive. If one does not boot the second drive the assumption is NT (on clone) never gets a chance to look at the hardware configuration. In the event of NT1 failure could one take the second drive..recable it to the first drive position and have a working clone of the first drive? Is the registry a file? Can it be backed up by copying it to another location? Does it have to reside in a specific sector/location on the harddrive? Is it always open? Zeuspaul
