The studio I'm using now is digital Mac. I'm going to buy a USB drive
for backup & archive of my files. (In the old days if you wanted to go
to a different studio you just picked up your reel of tape and went out
the door. But today . . .)

The USB drive will be formatted for a Mac when the studio copies the
files.

-- Q.1: If in the future I want to back up this USB drive to another
USB drive, can I do so using OS/2?

-- Q.2: I don't know if partition copy operations (such as with DFSee
or Partition Magic 3.x) can recognize a Mac-formatted partition. My
last functioning neuron assumes they should, but a particular world
renowned Know-It-All keeps telling me not to assume anything.

-- Q.3: Is there an OS/2 driver for Mac partitions? If my library
grows beyond one drive it's likely that I'll want to copy some of the
files to a "current project" USB drive which I can carry with me (and
leave the backup/archive drives in a nice safe place, like in the
cabinet next to the dryer). Also, if I can at least read the files then
I have access to the mixdowns (stereo 16-bit WAV files although Mac
calls them something else).

-- Q.4: The studio _can_ burn DVDs for me. I've never used DVDs for
data. Can anyone tell me if the data format for a DVD is "universal"
(i.e. portable between Mac and OS/2)?
