YOu can even do incrementals this way, but it isn't that easy to sort later. If your new HD comes with something, by and large use it. I agree with Brian about Retrospect. I used it for years to back up whole systems, but if anything went wrong it could be one **************** to sort out. If you could. But that said it will do pretty much everthing that you want and a few that you probably oughtn't to go near! Peter Dzwig Robert D.
