Thanks, Robert. Other than the transport risks of carrying a hard drive home, I
like it. And, despite the price of 5 or 6 hard drives + removable carriers, it's
still cheaper than DDS-3 or 4, and undoubtedly much faster, too. Do you know if
this little app can do a "modified" backup of those files with changed archive
bits from within the selected files, or even if it can change the archive bits
back after a backup? If not, there are other programs available, such as those
from Novastor.
Thanks,
Tom
