Then use the label option to give the volume a name ORG98 for example or 15JAN99(8 letters or numbers) Actually I do not like the above naming scheme. Once I tried something similar for some record files. I tried encrypting some meaning in the file name. Over time it proved to be a bad idea. I switched to a sequential numbering system and it proved to be much easier to maintain. I started my new system with my last Drive Image backup. I named the file 1001.pqi. The next Drive Image file will be 1002.pqi. I started a spread sheet with the file number and then a brief description. For example 'Win98 backup before Corel Draw 8 install'. Zeuspaul ps Clarence, your original understanding of Spot's post was correct. He is not talking about a complete backup of NT. Sometimes NT crashes but it is related to configuration issues. For example you install a new video driver and then all you see is a blue screen when you boot. Most of the files on the NT drive are still good but you have lost the ability to access them. The first line of defense is the working NT operating system on your second drive. You will be able to access the files on the first NT drive and you may be able to fix what you screwed up.
