You have a good solution here :) --- SBBSecho To which Darklord replies... Heard that story way too often (broke, no fall back position). It's one of the reasons why I love the Lightning ST mod for my Atari Mega ST4. I've got USB support. I literally stick a card reader with an SD card in it, into the USB port on the Mega ST4, drag 'n drop my entire C: partition over to that drive and bam! instant backup. I then take it to my Mega STe, drop it off there via the internal Ultrasatan drive (SD cards, 2 slots), then to my Kubuntu Linux laptop, then finally, last (and least), the Win10 box. I do that regularly once a month, or more often if I do any major changes/updates. That should keep me pretty protected as far as data loss goes. I'm thinking I might add a friend or family member for an "off-site" backup as well. Hey, ya never know when Murphy (and his annoying law!) might show up, right? :) /\ Dark>
