My issue was that they messed up my disk __during the backup__. I would be more understanding if it was during the restore. There's no reason for a backup program to modify my harddisk (unless it's keeping status in its config/log directory). It should treat my disk as a read only device. -- See Exclusive Video: 10th Annual Young Hollywood Awards http://www.hollywoodlife.net/younghollywoodawards2008/ -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
