I should be OK now with my backups and Mrimgs etc. Although since I put
the 2TB #4 in the 8500 it means I only have the #3 hd as a spare and the 1TB .
The 780 has a 2TB hd plus (2) spares #1 and #2.

However, I should be able to create clones now without the activation problem
is that correct? The problem is will the external connect to create a clone?

That can wait till later though,... I don't want to start causing problems after we
spent so much time on getting everything fixed. Maybe if I have to use #3 I'll
create more then. I may buy more HD's just in case though.
