And my point is simply: 1. Copy + Backup + Delete <> Copy + Delete and 2. Failure chances with "Copy + Delete" (not Copy + Backup + Delete) are probably the same as a simple Move (I must have "moved" thousands of files during my inconsequential existence - but have yet to lose a single file due to Hard Disk Failure during or immediately after a move operation - never happened) IMHO - Each entity embraces paranoia to a variant degree. :-) - Harman __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
