I made the backup with BackAgain 2000 Workstation. I had hoped to create 
a CD that contained the commonly needed utilities and sufficient BA2K 
files to allow a 'disaster recovery' restore.  I don't need anything 
particularly fancy, just a simple boot to a command prompt will do. At 
least as a start. I just need to figure out how to get past DANIBOOT.FLT.

Just got the latest release yesterday, and Doug's addon for the first 
time.  That script abended with some 'not zero or one' error before it 
finished. I didn't have time to look thru 62kb of REXX code to try and 
fix it, so I went back to the manual method. That was no more 
fruitful... it DID create a CD, the CD did NOT boot. It did, however, 
contain a boatload of things I didn't want/need. I think I need to go 
back about 10 versions to see if I can get what I need.  I'm using RSJ, 
which should simplify things.

Good idea, thanks!  That's essentially what I need.  A basic bootable 
system with LVM, DFSEE, and the BA2K files would suit me just fine. 

Thanks again for the reply!
