Its clear there is some confusion as to what I do for
backups and why I do it. You keep confusing the backup and KOT terms.


ZP was responding to my post where I blanketly mentioned all these strategies, (musical copies, backing up, KOT, even cd-rom substitute) I also said your use of a Jaz as an alternative to second harddrive was of interest to me.

I think this confusion is arising from my mixed subject post, and I apologize for that. I will make ever effort in the future to post in a more specific manner.

BTW I take your advisements about removeable rotational backup media *very* seriously and have every intention to include such a solution in this new machine as I also have being doing on my current machine. My use of KOT as a fast disaster recovery strategy for a trading machine will be in addition to a removable backup media. I'm just now trying to decide what that media could be aside from tape. Although after probing for alternatives to tape for a while, I don't there is, yet, anything as suitable. So I will be installing some tape storage device internally and in addition to the quick KOT recovery drive.

Sorry for the confusion here Sean.
