I also have a second hard drive on the Iyonix and run it through a MyHopper box linked to the MacBook. I also have an external hard drive containing a full backup created using HD Companion. If the worst comes to the worst and I have to abandon the Iyonix I am hoping that I can use the backups with either another (second hand) Iyonix or the MacBook with VRPC installed. I don't have VRPC but have been thinking about it for some time. -- David Rooke --- To alter your preferences or leave the group, visit //www.freelists.org/list/iyonix-support Other info via //www.freelists.org/webpage/iyonix-support List-related queries to iyonix-support-moderators@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
