I recently received the 160GB USB hard drive with Everything Pak . I use it with my laptop, and because I only have a small hard drive on the laptop, I install BB, but run all my real tracks directly from the USB drive .

I would like to have a backup of the USB drive in case of failure, however when I try to do an Acronis image of it I always get an error saying Acronis cannot read some particular file.
I then copied all the files manually from the USB drive to a folder on my desktop hard drive, and as a test tried to install BB from there, but get a message "cannot find/or problems with DataList.ASC"

Is there some protection causing this? Is there anyway I can duplicate my USB hard drive to a similar drive?

thanks
