>>We've had more than one customer that didn't realize that it's not a good idea to keep backups on the same physical drive as the software. Even had more than one irate IT manager that DEMANDED that we "FIX the OBVIOUS BUG" in our software because he was unable to restore the backup of the data that was stored on the crashed harddisk... Had to fight really hard the temptation to call the guy an idiot.

That would work over here most of the time up to spanning volumes and RAID 1. Too many TCP/IP bellyaches your side of the pond ?

I hate SW forcing me down 1 path only: 1 or 2 severe warnings at most are my definition of "perfect" (external port might be damaged....)
