>>OK.. I see in lieu of SparQ...but how can the 2gig Jaz be comfortably used for complete final (fail safe) backup of a 4-8 gig primary?<< I don't think you could setup a complete final (fail safe) backup of a 4-8 gig primary? with the JAZ2. You would not use a 4-8 gig primary partition. You could divide a primary 8 GB harddrive into four 2GB partitions. Or you could use two 4GB partitions and make use of compression. You could design the software load/use such that the files needing daily backup are in one 2GB partition. It is not a best solution but worthy of consideration. The SparQ on a parallel port will be slow. Just looking at the alternatives. Perhaps just a tape drive would work? What is the speed comparison between tape and SparQ on a parallel port? How many cloned images did you have on the #2 drive after you deleted one? A total of four partitions to start, three were hidden. I deleted the active partition leaving three hidden partitions.
