Thank you Dave. Fabulous fast answer - that's why your earn the big bucks.
I only wish drives were small enough to allow at least 2 or 3 generations in your shirt pocket.
Just clarifying Pie-airs post ... does SD do non-bootable Smartcopies between drives? Assuming I buy say, a 250gb external partitioned 160/90, can I first do my nightly bootable clone to the 160 partition, then "point" SD to the remaining external 90 and clone THAT yet a third drive? I am paranoid about backing everything up ....
And thanks for keeping it working for Power PC/Tiger people - if it ain't broke, don't fix it I say!
