So All I need is one 5 1/4 floppy to boot from and two ZIP disks (one compressed backup and one for NZR) and my system will be totally backed up and protected. NZR to the Rescue symantec.com <<<Norton Zip Rescue -- Rescue Disk offers exclusive disaster recovery improvements and now provides the added capability of saving rescue information on an Iomega Zip Disk. Norton Utilities is the first product to allow users to recover their systems by booting into Windows, instead of DOS. The new Rescue Recovery Wizard guides users through the recovery process via a familiar and easy-to-follow Windows interface. Users can save their work and recover critical files using Windows. They can also run the Windows-based Norton Utilities such as Unerase Wizard and Disk Doctor to fix problems and recover the system. The rescue sensor in Norton System Doctor now recommends updating the rescue disks when changes are detected to critical system areas such as the boot record or CMOS.>>> Then in Additional information at the bottom of the page from a company that evaluated the beta. <<<We believe Norton Zip Rescue is a significant improvement in recovery utility capabilities. NZR may very well be the "killer app" which causes individuals and IS to specify NZR (or Norton Utilities 3.0) and the Zip drive as standard components included with all PC's. Users not only get increased recovery capabilities, they benefit from the six traditional advantages of removable mass storage which are often overlooked in existing data processing plans. (See the November 1996 CooperComm Briefing, "Removable Mass Storage in the Enterprise.") There are currently over 100 OEM PC SKU's which include a Zip drive. We believe NZR provides a way for these OEM's to further differentiate their products with a tangible benefit. NZR capabilities also provide a cost justified reason for all OEM's to include an A: Zip drive and to update their BIOS for Zip A: drive bootability.>> I wonder if KE got an exclusive with Symantec. Or maybe a patent. The 'other' Joel
