I'll puzzle that out, Bert. Thanks.

Having lived through server failures of various databases, I really have become a belt, suspenders, second pair of pants, second belt and second suspenders guy. We have a server with a 4 disk RAID drive, a second complete backup server with 4 disk Raid drive backed up from the first, and so far can do the offsite backup to AC. I foam at the mouth at the idea of single point failures, and can just imagine coming in to work to a blown server mother board that no one has in town but can get in 3 or 4 days, so the hardware expense is just peace of mind. Having the accounting server down merely delayed billing a few days; the EMR down would be a disaster. I just kind of like the thumb drive idea as a little extra something. I have your dissertation on online incremental backup services printed and have been reading it, but I figure we're safe for the moment so digesting all of it is not a super priority.
