if he is running basically three different OS setups and he has to install it three times and schedule it three times so no matter which OS he is in the that the backup software is installed and scheduled to run....

Agreed. I do not think he should consider multiple installations. The only choice is which boot to make the one installation on. He will be able to service all drives from the one boot. Booting the multiple OSes is only a problem if he chooses to make multiple installations.... if my understanding is correct.

Multiple drives is not a problem. booting multiple OS's is...

Only my KOT is a multiple OS boot, w98+nt. Like you, not much happens to my KOT data. I don't intend to include it in daily backup and defrag. Also like you..even a manual execution would be acceptable for the KOT.

Also as per your previous lenghty post, I am now resigned to having to install BE/DK on every drive. DisKeeper seems not to be a problem if installed identically on all three drives, as you have indicated. I am still somewhat fuzzy as how to handle BE via the 3X installation you outlined. I'd like to be a little clearer about what is going on with this 3X install in the same location before I procede with it.
