Theos-Talk Archives (March 2009 Message tt00336)

To avoid problems, I make a full disk backup from time to time so that I can
restore quickly. The program which saved disasters is the enterprise version
of Symantec Ghost originally developed in NZ. If anyone needs further info,
pl email me off-list. I have no financial interest in the program or the
company.
