ok, might be tomorrow, right?!
one other question, since you are so quick with your answers...
I succesfully made a clone of my 40Gb harddisk, using SuperDuper, but what I did not understand: in the beginning of the backup/cloning process things went really fast, but in the course of te process SD seemed to have more troubles with backing up, sometimes an application to be backed up took minutes, before the next file was handled; any idea what's happening here?
