Guys, Just made enough space on my machine to re-install my backup from CD (7 CD's) it's 4.5 Gig of important data. Apple backup said I do not have enough access rights to complete the backup, (I'm the only user) and also reported some files could not be copied. After verifying the discs during backup I thought restoring would WORK! Any similar stories? Trying again now what a waste of my time, any better backup programs? I have a W2K 160G RAID setup, just trying to restore all my .mac backups and copy to the RAID. Iain
