Terry, I don't think Richard made it quite clear enough for you so as an ex
Cobalt employee
who fought for this to be fixed let me explain it more fully.

The RaQ4 GUI based backup has a critical fault in it it won't restore i.e.
it doesn't work as it fails
the main requirement.

The only backups on the Cobalt range that work as far as I know are the
Qube3 and possibly the RaQ550.

You best bet is to use the neuhaus one above this or modified versions of it
are what I think most people on this
list would be using its very powerful and works.

Hope this helps make it clearer it was always my biggest worry that people
would use it and then only realize when it didn't restore
which typically most people only find out when they need it to work most.  I
wanted a quick fix to remove the button until we had it
fixed but hey a lot was going on at the time when Sun acquired us and it got
buried.

Regards

Gavin
