Hi David, good to read that I'm not alone :). I don't care that much for live data. To loose a few minutes or even a few days isn't fun, but bearable. Backups and archives can contain a full life. Unfortunately integrity checks are way to often a PITA :(. My current strategy is an obsessional neurosis. It's a little bit more a psychopathological workaround, than a computer technical attempt. I have got tons of backups (unfortunately not stored in different locations, just on different drives) and from time to time I restore backups or archives using a sandbox, just for testing purpose. Regards, Ralf
