Roelof,

the normal backups are going back to my OS drive ( so the thinking is
that if the mail directory goes corrupt, I have backup - if the
OS drive goes bust, my mail directory is not affected. If both go
bust, at least I have the monthly backup on an external drive.

As for the scheduled backup containing the templates etc, it's good to
hear that. I have never done a reinstallation from these backups -
only tried it once with voyager and that was a complete mess.
