Subject:	SCOUG-Help: Backing up

Sorry for the misunderstanding. I do not back up to CD's, only to
removeable hard drives.

The CD I mentioned is one that will boot OS/2 from the CD, and the CD also
has the BA restore program on the CD. That way if I can't access my hard
drive, I can still do a restore. RSJ has no role in my backup routine.
