- Good news! I've finally got my Duo 230!
- Bad news! I don't have a mini dock or disk drive yet!
-
- As you can imagine, I'm *really* paranoid about crashing my system
- under these circumstances. I have an idea in case I do, but am
- not sure if it is safe. Let me know what you think of the following.
-
- My day to day system is in folder A, a backup system is in folder B.
- I put A on my hard disk, I put B,in a folder, in a folder, on my hard
- disk. When I start up the first system found is A, and if A is ok, the
- Duo never looks for B. If A gets trashed, the Duo looks lower in the
- hierachy until if finds B, it boots, and I can repair A and restart.
-
- Any insight or usefull critisism will be greatly appreciated.
