What you suggest makes sense and actually works pretty well. That's essentially
what I plan to do with my back up 2100. I keep it in a case in the closet and
once a week or so, I plan to back up the everyday 2100 on my mac and then
restore the backup files onto the backup 2100. I tried this the other day to
test it out and it worked perfectly. It's easiest if the 2 are configured
exactly the same (same size memory cards, same ethernet cards, etc.). I just
made sure that both had 32meg cards and 3com cards and it works great!
