Forgive me if I am a little slow, but I want to be sure to do it right. 1. this procedure requres that both diisks be identical... ?? This is not always possible... I'm not sure I have that possibility at the moment and I don't want to empty other disks from other machines. 2. I am trying to under stand if the procedure is to be done from the active disk, say ad4 and the idea is to copy ad4 to say ad6? Or should I be running on a third disk, say ad12 and be copying ad4 to ad6?
