Trent,

Here is a creed that I learnt a long time ago.

I will always BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP
BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP
BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP
BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP
BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP
BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP my data regardless of what
file system I use.
