- Yes, *every* precaution. I go so far as to do a Norton Disk Doctor sweep
- of my Stacked drives (both the Stacker logical drive and the underlying
- physical drive) and an SCHECK of the Stacker drives EVERY TIME I BOOT.
- Sure, it adds a couple of minutes to each boot sequence, but better that
- than the hours it would take to restore all my programs and data.

- I've never had any problems with Stacker, and I never want to. I'm so anal
- about this that I upgraded from version 2.0 to 3.0 not for the extra features
- but from the assumption that Stacker has made an already robust product
- even more robust and fool-proof in the upgrade.
