Cool, thanks for the confirmation, Derek. I think it's The Right Way to do this. :)
Now my only "problem" is the vast proliferation of small USB drives lying around -- old 500GB, 750's, and now 1TB. I hate to throw away perfectly good drives -- gotta find something to do with them. Unfortunately, "something" usually ends up being yet another backup copy of our family photos, and really, how many backups do you need? (I know, I know -- "one more than you have!") -Adam On Fri, Jan 30, 2015 at 7:50 AM, Derek J.
