Assume there is a disaster (ie., lightning, fire). Why would one machine make it and the other not? Now, if you just worry about losing data due to deletions and changes made in applications, then having several backups on another disk isn't a bad idea. But then you are only protecting yourself from one type of backup-related incident. --- Dustin Puryear <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Puryear Information Technology Windows, UNIX, and IT Consulting http://www.puryear-it.com
