I haven't tried it yet because I was just reviewing the book yesterday. We already have a running overnight backup but I wanted to run a one-time backup to disk. I was concerned about trying it, thinking that I had a successful backup, and then finding out later that I had missed something important. Received on Sun Jan 16 2005 - 21:51:08 CST
