True, Evan. I was more or less saying that tongue-in-cheek. I even have an advantage that many out there don't - a backup machine on which I can practice.

I admit that we've gotten rather complacent here what with the systems being so reliable. The biggest problem we've had is a disk drive going south. The system, of course stayed up, and the CE replaced it while everyone kept pulling and pushing orders. Did have to take it down for a cache battery replacement, but that was quick and painless.

We have had business interruptions, but not related directly to the i5. Things like a backhoe operator digging up the phone lines.

But I will get on it asap.

Hi Jerry

I take it you'd prefer to wait until you had a *real* disaster to learn how
to do this :)

Personally - and this may not be applicable in your case - I recommend that
anyone tasked with having to do a restore in the event of a disaster take
whatever opportunity they can find to rehearse the process.

Regards

I think I'll wait until tomorrow or Thursday before doing the actual
install, though, in to give Larry, Pete, et al, a chance to say "No, No!
You can't install Access 6.1 on i5/OS 5.4, you idiot!" I mean, really, I
had just as soon *not* having to learn how to restore a complete system from
backup media, Thank you very much.
