Luke,
I was able to copy my first game backup; everything went well.
I'm sure that the other Junior member that just responded to your last post was "trying to be helpful" I run into a number of these types of responses in other forums that I moderate..... no useful solutions, just another "informative" response that gets the new member another post.
Thanks again, and I'll continue to back up my data, all the while hoping that I won't run into SAFEDISC v.2.72
