I'm not quite that paranoid, but I do copy all of that to a separate disk in my backup server after the backup. In hindsight, I really should copy it to another machine or two, or maybe write it to a CD - the backup server has a CDRW. But really, I would have thought that having the indices on at the least more than one disk was just normal common sense backup procedure. Niall
