My "current" version of EZCD (v3.5c) doesn't provide a verification option, I'm obviously a little behind, I had catastrophic problems with later versions under WK2 + ASPI. I use a third party utility to verify data integrity. CD definitely provides the greatest ease of data retrieval given the vast install base of readers however I still prefer linear tape for automated daily back-up even though I have many options at my disposal. My writer is a Philips CDD2000, it cost me more than the current crop of DVD writers over five years ago, it's still going strong, never produces coasters. :-) Cheers, Rob Studdert HURSTVILLE AUSTRALIA Tel +61-2-9554-4110 UTC(GMT) +10 Hours [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://members.ozemail.com.au/~distudio/publications.html - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
