Reading all the docs/readme's etc now, but would like to know if there are any "gottcha's" before I proceed. This is my first time doing this, and don't want to be left without a usable system. Unfortunately, my tape drive has died, and don't have a current backup. Can someone be so kind to make some suggestions as to the sequence I should proceed, and if there is anything I should be aware of before I start? many thanks..
