I went over this with support. But all I did was to copy the files  
from a disk to and external disk. The default (and cannot change it)  
is to erase the receiving volume which I do not want to do The person  
did not offer any options but what they put in their product. He did  
suggest to back it up to a DMG file which might be OK for testing but  
not in product as then the idea thing is to do offsite storage (AKA  
peddle net).
