I was generally upgrading to new minor version each time it appeared, since usually the minor version number change meant that more bugs were fixed and the whole OS was more started. Now, you honestly scared me. Actually I noticed some regression with dump/restore since 6.x and 7.0 (I reported some bugs, but I don't think there was much concern about them). I don't get why nobody cares about this, I think having a reliable backup is one of the most important things. Now I'm honestly a bit scared about it (even if it will be fixed before 7.1, I'm not sure I'll hurry with the update). -- Best regards, Derek mailto:takeda@takeda.tk Scandisk is now checking your hard drive. You can start praying.
