From: Ritch_DA on 17 Mar 2008 09:38 Hi Henrik Yes very sound advice. Unfortunately I dont have another external drive to hand, however I did create a share on a spare workstation and did a test backup of a few folders which did complete succesfully. So I guess I will have to wait for a response from Lacie (when they decide to get back to me).
