The 730 is a basic setup with a test and production partition. We are looking for a way to copy data from our production partition, to our test partition, and then run all of our backups in the test partition to increase our availability. Is there a way to copy or backup data to our test partition from the production partition without using expensive replicating software? >> CLICK here to read John's response: http://search400.techtarget.com/ateQuestionNResponse/0,289625,sid3_cid515876_tax288615,00.html _________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________ IMPORTANT FEATURES AND LINKS: =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= EXPERT PROFILE | Rich Belles, systems management expert Richard's data processing career has spanned more than 30 years.

Tangible invisibility (oxymoron alert!) is on its way. A professor at the University of Tokyo claims that he is creating the technology to make you go away. It's not as easy as Harry Potter putting on a cloak. In order to vanish, you have to wear a coat made of retro- reflective material, and the person to whom you want to appear to have disappeared must look at you through a pinhole. Professor Invisible hopes his disappearing act will be a commercially viable product in a few years -- just enough time for magician David Copperfield to find a new line of work.
