There is only one little downside to this. If someone fills up all the space in the primary container it will overwrite the hidden container. As Kyle said, due to its nature it cannot be determined if there is another layer, so it cannot limit the required space of the hidden layer. They can not know, nor see but overwrite. You need backup somewhere. Rocco
