Hi again. Sorry for late answer!
You are correct, that is exacly what we like to do, no misstake at 
all.
Harddisks are cheap, and harddisks may stop function.

Actualy we once had a problem with 2 suddenly broken disks in the
main 
server (RAID 5) one was the hot spare and the other was a part in the 
array. At the verry samt time our backupserver also crashed.
(No...it was'nt a sabotage)...

Finaly: thank You very much for good ansvers and for always trying to 
help me and all others out in the best way.

Kind Regards
\\Mike
