- Sorry I don't have any help to offer, and unfortunately from what I have
- read lately I don't think there is any. What I do want to add is that I
- recently bought AFS, as well, but contrary to the manual and the dealers
- promise there is no DiskSalv support for AFS. In light of this I am
- unwilling to commit any of my data to a drive for which there are no
- methods for recovery from a failure - no matter how secure it is supposed
- to be.
-
- So Fourth Level, please deliver what has been promised.
