Shane, The FW drive is going to be strictly a backup and I was hoping (purely speculative at this point) that by cloning I would not have to do any reconect if the RAID went down. I could simply pull the FW of the shelf, plug it in, and voila, FCP sees it as the original RAID. Draging and dropping is what I am doing now. I did it folder by folder because I thought we had a corrupt file. Now I’ve learned that it probably is a FW/OS issue in general. Do you have any problems draging a droping large amounts of data (over 1Tb) onto FW drives? We tried that at the very first; but it would hang up about 1/2 to 2/3 of the way there.
