What was it ? I've been seriously considering trying to use the UniMaint Portable Backup
feature to apply all the installed stuff, the customizations, and desktop layout from my
longstanding Warp 4 partition onto a new eCS partition, but I'm thinking the disaster
potential is definitely there. (Have any of you reading this ever tried that ?) It may be a
great way to encounter the sort of corruption you describe, or worse.

Then at least you have determined that _other_ standard UniMaint functions still work
properly on eCS 1.1 ?
