I think this has been touched on before ... if you have time check the archives. I know there's some Linux based utilities that can accomplish this. On our end - the two gateways I've setup use hardware raid 1 (mirroring) to help with availability and uptime. I use Acronis True Image which can easily make an image copy of a volume ... including to a USB or IEEE1394 attached disk. Of course, you have to take the system down to do this but given the amount of space actually used - it didn't take very long. And you've got a guaranteed good snapshot image of the disk which you can restore at any point in the future ... Bob W1QA
