1. sure!
2. I think i have to learn what that is. i know what FID structure is, but I’m not sure what FIDsifted structure is.... ?
3. Restore... yes.. i figured i would be happy with just the backup. I can do the restore by hand no problem. I don’t want the restore to be something that I use all the time, only when i needed to test this thing out or actually restore from a failed system. If i can get it to work, I’m sure I can reverse the process for a restore. I wouldn't want to accidentally restore the wrong files.
4. huh? I must have missed a thread somewhere. 1 button is the idea, its what would make sense.

I would have to check into Rsync.
