In other words, if the quality is in a badly degraded state (like it would be for a first-time mirror), is it best to leave the drive untouched while it syncs? ----------- Joe Auty NetMusician: web publishing software for musicians http://www.netmusician.org joe@netmusician.org --Apple-Mail-11--72722455 content-type: application/pgp-signature; x-mac-type=70674453; name=PGP.sig content-description: This is a digitally signed message part content-disposition: inline; filename=PGP.sig content-transfer-encoding: 7bit -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (Darwin) iD8DBQFEa1h1CgdfeCwsL5ERAowCAJ9UO9mPHolMQrDl90n+vVZxyix4LQCePG6K a9vYiQfcRm7D0EjhC6SAFBI= =WBQd -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Apple-Mail-11--72722455--
