Ah, but what do "they" know about much of anything. :-) I can't imagine why monitoring is a (necessary) factor in a later backup unless, somehow, they are trying to do on-the-fly incremental backups which, as you mention, requires care. >As Ghost 9 won't create a bootable recovery I've reverted to 2003 - I don't >need to do backups on the fly Indeed I have a basic distrust of such >techniques unless they are created, managed, and SUPPORTED by >very clever, and careful people and I no longer consider Symantec >as a whole to qualify as a suitable organisation. A very helpful/interested member of http://www.geekstogo.com/ asked Kaspersky if they knew of the Ghost conflict. Within a few days an upgrade was posted to KAV5: http://www.kaspersky.co.uk/productupdates?chapter=146244099 to resolve the Ghost shutdown problem. I'm currently downloading the upgrade now. I'll keep you posted. -- cheers, Stephen -- ---------------------------------------- The WIN-HOME list is hosted on a Windows 2000(TM) machine running L-Soft international's LISTSERV(R) software.
