Thierry,
This should work, although there are issues with mixed media when it comes
to restores. This doesn't mean you can't do them, just requires some extra
work. There is a technical bulletin on the Legato web site that explains
mixed media with Legato in more detail.
I would still recommend using AlphaStor, because then you do not have to
worry about issues such as this, or what happens in a restore situation.
Here are the URL's for the bulletins. Whilst the 1st does describe
SmartMedia, it is largely also true for AlphaStor
