>> poor backup strategy. Hmm. How? It doesn't seem any worse than any other copy operation as a backup. Clearly it's not a real-time backup, but as I understand it, Dave is allowing for the stripe set to crash with a backup on a separate disk. The only added risk I see over any other copy-backup strategy is that the backup will be on the same physical drive as the system partition. My experience has been it's the system partition that is most likely to get taken out by lightening (at least in my PCs <g>). If this is generally true (rather than just my experience), there may be a slight added risk, but not much. Even if the system partition gets taken out, Dave could still probably recover the data from the quiescent backup partition. Am I missing a point? Spots
