Thanks for the reply, Fred.
I've thought of doing what you're doing but I don't really want to
have another computer (file server) running all the time, if I can
avoid it. If I'm understanding correctly.
Appreciate that I can still recover most of what I've lost from usenet
but it still is a lot of time to spend to do it, making me realize how
important backing up is at this point. Used to think, well if I lose
things, it's not a big deal, certainly not going to pay for data
recovery, but of course that was before it happened.
