I have it on a DAT4 tape with 27Gb worth of data using BackupExec and produced the night before the crash. Unfortunately I have had to limit the backup since the tape does not have room for all of my files. Problem #2 is that I must reinstall BackupExec into a new XP on new hardware and if I restore the system from the backup it probably will break XP again... On the other hand my disks are good to read, it's just that XP won't repair but insists on full reinstall and that's where I gave up... /Bo (Bo Berglund, developer in Sweden)
