Quarterback works just fine with only one drive (altho 2 drives definately make life easier!) As a matter of fact, the new 4.0 release adds several new features that would make 1 drive operations easier. One is a "fuel gage" (my words, not theirs) that indicates how full a disk is getting. When it is near "full", you can be ready with another disk. There are other new features such as the report now contains the disk numbers that the files are on. You can run a seperate "verify" pass to see if your disks are ok. On two drive systems, it beeps when a disk is done, not when it needs a new disk. You can print a catalog from a backup set. Plus bug fixes and other features. The upgrade is only $10.00 and your original Quarterback disk. I got mine back in about a week. Send to: Central Coast Software 424 Vista Av.
