	Better to inform than to skimp!

	Not offhand, but presumably if it backs
up into any file format that any virus scanner
couldn't open up and inspect, it'd be affected
or at least smart sense to consider it a
potential threat.

	Since I didn't scope it right the first
time, it resulted in hours on end of rebuilding,
thus my words of experience to consider.

	Ouch!  That's why I'm so glad our entire
farm is in a 24/7 supported NOC.  Only took 45
minutes to start fresh, then it was hours on
end for me to do the hard part.

	Good luck!
