I will get you the answers to your questions tonight. THANK YOU.

I have to be at home in my studio to give you specifics, but I went to Start --> All Programs --> Accessories--> System tools and selected backup. and it asked me what I wanted to back up (selected the drive) and to what drive I wanted to save the backup (selected external drive)...etc. and it took a couple hours and said it was complete.

Sorry for the confusion. I will get specific steps that I took and write them down tomorrow morning. I will also try just plugging in PT via firewire to the computer and see if it works.

The sessions all functioned normally before the backup. I'm recording my band and with all the songs (big files) I wanted to have an external drive just for the backups b/c if I lose the sessions....well....death to me. =(

till tomorrow, have a good night.
