Zp I do not think I like the idea of having two OSes looking at the same apps. I'm with you there.. Spots mad man with a stick under the bleachers describes it well...still laughing at that one. I am still drawn to 'C' drives for operations As a recent convert..it is infinitely preferable. 8 gig or less 'C' drive with apps installed on the same drive. I have this now except for TA app spread out to the scsi drive..so far no problems. I was looking to differentiate KOT from a new backup NT. It doesn't appear to be currently in the cards. How is Seagate Backup Exec/ROMO working out? Does it copy files into one large file similar to Drive Image? or can you configure it to copy files to the ROMO and the ROMO looks just like the 'C' drive? The ROMOs look just like C: Backup Exec is totally flexible in terms of what you want to backup or restore or compare. It can do the whole computer or just one file. i've had one report of an error on the romo where BE wouldn't continue a backup. I reformatted and redid a full backup and was back to normal. This incident happened after I ran Diskeeper on the romo. I want a delayed 'mirror' drive. Maybe a 12 hour delay I'm a novice in all repects, but now that you mention it, if BE were scheduled to execute every 12 hr thats, in effect, what you'd be getting. I don't know if ROMO is bootable with its backed up OS files. I think the backed up files have a '.qui' suffix which designates them as backed up as opposed to originals. Sean would know this. There is that new PowerQuest backup app that does simultaneous backups. It most likely could be set to also execute at chosen intervals. I just thought of another app that does either mirroring or imaging, I can't remember which..let me try to find it. It sounded interesting but unproven. Clarence Edit: I think your phrase 'delayed mirror" is what I was after here as well. Except I hadn't developed the concept into doing preset snapshots of C: I waas thinking more along the lines of manually updating when large changes were made like the addition of new TA sw. A delayed mirror or snapshot in time is by far cooler.
