Nowhere however have I seen the above two lines explicitly juxtaposed, so I have been reluctant to try it. Before I try the above, I had an idea last night that I want to try: I will buy a large, cheap IDE drive (big enough to hold an entire plex) and ADD it to my configuration (with all subdisks on the IDE drive). At this point, I expect to be able to sync all subdisks of the IDE plex against one or the other of the existing plexi to obtain a completely functional plex, at which point my RAID should come alive for me to back it up. Does this plan seem workable? __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail - Find what you need with new enhanced search. http://info.mail.yahoo.com/mail_250
