Just think, all your personal information will be under the control of some corporation. I can't get over the feeling this is the real reason behind this trend! Or, you have cloned copies of your data on multiple drives, which is the model I'm leaning towards. Of course there are always tape backups, I backup my VMS server to DLT tapes. The downside is the only way to do this affordably is to buy used equipment. Zane -- | Zane H.
