ZP Partition the first drive a la Dave, clone it to the KOT a la ZP, and backup to tape a la Sean. Well ..to my inexperienced mind that appears to provide enough coverage and is agood sythesis of the various techniques used by others here.... kind of a 'Wraparound Policy" <g> I like it and barring any problems someone else might see here I think I'LL go with it. Thank you again ZP I have no desire to test backups on a working machine. A ridiculous answer might be to have a third hard drive reserved for backup testing.<g> I guess no amount of backup and KOT precaution will work for 100% of the problems a computer system can throw at you. But I'm sorry that happened to you ,too. I was not happy with a complete system restore from tape that I had to do a few months back. It just wasn't complete because I always show errors during backups. I then started to also but my (mac) Syst folder onto Jaz periodically. But, you know how that goes after awhile. Clarence
