Thanks for the info.

One of the beefs I have with Retrospect and other OS X backup offerings 
is that none of them support making a disaster recovery disk, as Retro 
does on the Win side and as it did on OS 9 and earlier. (Or am I 
wrong?) I believe any serious backup tool should have this facility.

True, while Retrospect's support of a DRD on earlier versions of 
Windows was good, on Win XP it's a dud -- I've tried on several PCs and 
never got it to work. But they're not even trying on the Mac.
