Agreed. Each time i change systems, i have to go thru the USB-driver trial-and-error process until i find the ASPI system driver and the DOS disk driver that 1) work with the hardware (system and USB device) and 2) work with each other.

Why not just save backups to a temporary directory on hard drive... or (less secure but faster) an XMS RAM drive? So-o-o-o-o much easier....
