Re: life of CF card

This looks great.  I will read the documentation and see how this works.

One thing that I have seen already is that it states one of the  
limitations is that it is not made to provide exact re-imaging of  
failed disks, though it says an exact image of a Unix/Linux file  
system may be able to be made.

That is one thing I would like to be able to do for a failed CF  
card:  rewrite the backup to a new card.  Do you have any experience  
with that?
