Backup

First type defends against catastrophic damage; your machine/house burns down. This type dictates some sort of daily backup with off site storage of backup data.

Second type defends against virus, Windows and SW installation corrupting data. This type assumes first won't happen and therefore all activity occurs onsite.

The first decision to be made is which type of protection you want.

Spots (or others), any thoughts on NTFS vs. FAT on NT?

You mentioned that only your repair partition is NT. I'm thinking about going whole hog NTFS (now all FAT) for my main machine, since I don't seem to ever use 95 anymore. I like the added security, increased robustness, and better use of cluster sizes.

Given your success with NTFSDOS and mine with Drive Image, the reasons for eschewing NTFS seem slim indeed.

Best,

Dave
