CageyJames,

Sorry you got burned... Agreed that it doesn't back up CF/SD cards... it just never occurred to me to think that it would. In my mind, I just guess I always thought of the built in RAM like the "harddrive" and the CF/SD cards as "floppies". When I used the backup program, I always just expected I was backing up the physical device and it was up to me to backup my own removable storage... just like I do on my PC.

On the other hand, if I was still in the Unix world, I probably would have treated the CF/SD cards as mounted volumes and expected them to have been backed up as part of the file system. So I can sure see the other side of that coin, too.
