Reading these recent reports of corrupted backups I just had to try it. I currently have 450 megs of a project on my 1G PAR drive so I limited my backup test to a file I had that was 3300 frames. Occupied 350 megs. I restored it to the PAR drive and all is well. It was originally recorded to the PAR direct at BLF 240 and QF 23. One difference I find myself doing here is I never address the PAR drive as a DOS drive. I always use the PAR.exe to effect any action on its files. I do all my colorado 250 backups and restores from the DOS drive. I know this is slower but it would seem from all the trouble others are having that it is safer. Your other report of deletion of the project files does crash my PAR drive requiring a reformat.
