Well, sure! Because otherwise it would be *easy*! LOL Don't mind me ...

The problem is not that, it's the reverse. E: is *not* a system volume. 
Domino (for Notes) is self-contained. If I restore the E: drive from 
regular backup, that's all it needs for a recovery. It just wants Windows, 
even the Windows name can be different, I am told. There's no need for E: 
anything to be in the system files, as far as we've been able to tell. 
It's not like it uses the registry like "regular" Windows programs.

And we don't want to move from E: to a "true system volume", such as C:. 
That just introduces more disadvantages, to compensate for that setting. 
We want to keep Notes on E:, where it is now.

We've decided to not backup the DISASTER_RECOVERY: object at all. We will 
back up all the VSS savesets, and all of C: and E: (enumerated 
explicitly). Who knows how long the next release of Networker will be - 
look how long it tool for 7.6.2 to come out with the full 
DISASTER_RECOVERY: support, after Windows 2008 came out (no offense). My 
backups will never finish, or fit in the available AFTD space, if we just 
did a standard ALL backup.

At least that way, we'll have a backup. It will be like I am continuing to 
use 7.6 pre-SP2 ... :-)
