I've been planning to install Desktop Manager on my hard drive
(read: haven't got around to it yet) but I started thinking about
disaster recovery....

In addition to keeping backups, SUM and the new Norton Utilities
provide a chance of recovering fromhard disk crashes. Does anyone
know if these packages can handle the presence of D.M.? Has anyone
been through a recovery attempt?

I would hope that these packages would
 a) Understand D.M. and have no trouble working with the file
    system  or
 b) Ignore the D.M. files and just rebuild the original Desktop
    file.

Any info would be appreciated!

Thanks, John
