    I agree that backing up a moving target is not a 'cool' idea BUT there are
plenty of activities which I do with my Mac which do not alter the current 
files on disk and during those activities it would be great to have a backup
going on. As I said in my original posting (see part of it above!), reading
usenet news while backing up my hard drive sounds like killing two birds with
one stone (just feed in a disk as it asks and keep on reading).
