Great, it worked perfectly.
Thanks very much for your patient support.
I have completely restored the shadow image, what a time and stress saver.
The shadow image was from 4 Sep 07, I now need to restore the data and files
between then and 20 Nov 07 when the disaster occurred. Hopefully this will
go smoothly.
Thanks again.
