I have always been overly cautious of copying backups or clients backups. I think it is part of my OCPD personality. I remember back when I used to do people upgrades using laplink. With laplink 3 you basically had the source on one side, the destination on the other. It was not overly obvious which was which. One of the guys I worked with copied a machine the wrong way, the big deal was it was an accountants laptop. You know one the the suitcase sized Compaq laptops, the kind where the keyboard snapped into the side of it. Well that just proved to me it was easy to do and working with someone else's data is begging lawsuit when you screw it up. I am vigilant on backups now, even my EqEmulator virtual machine gets a complete backup 7 days a week and another archive in a different place in case that machine catches fire or something crazy. I am not talking about the directory but the entire virtual machine.
