I have just had a really simple (almost patent-able) idea (I don't know whether anyone else has suggested this before). I thought I'd push it in your direction in preference to MS. I am a software developer, but I develop in PL/SQL, not C++, so I am not involved in Open Office. It requires hardly any programming and is very simple. If you can detect the presence of a second (physical) hard disk, allow the user to configure the app (or suite) to automatically save a second copy of any file at that location. Alternatively re-create the entire documents folder on the second disk. I suppose the second directory could be remote. The reason people would want to take advantage of this feature is simply that we all know we should make a backup, but backups are rarely made. The concept of saving the file as one single physical block dates back to DOS (3) and before. With the advent of really large (200GB+) disks, it makes sense to create a duplicate. We have all suffered a hard disk and I know of no desktop that has RAID (I had RAID on mine for a year, but the computer died and I couldn't recover the array). Many thanks, Michael Streeter
