Hey, I just had an idea. Wouldn't it be nice if we had some sort of utility that could backup and restore our empegs with an exact mirror image? Even if the backup file were totally unusable other than to restore to the same empeg that created it?

Too easy.. just use FTP to grab /dev/hda and /dev/hdc from the player and save them under the system of your choice. I accept paypal

Of course, this is very slow.. and cannot handle incremental backups, but it does capture EVERYTHING.

Cheers
