Bill:

No benchmarks yet; my demo copy of Performance Test ran out.  Next time I do 
a backup I'll let you know if there's any difference.  By the way, backing up 
13 GB used to take 1 hour, 20 minutes on an HP Ultrium LTO; after changing 
settings so that system cache (rather than programs) is optimized (and setting 
System Mechanic so that XP writes the  cache every 2 seconds), I got the backup 
time down to 20 minutes!  And shadow copy now works properly.
