Alex,

SnapCopy is our marketing term for the vol copy command. In the 5.1 early access release it was an extra-cost item which required a license key. We've come to our senses in 5.1.2 and removed any additional charge for vol copy <g>. It is now a no-cost feature which still however requires a license key. Please buzz your rep or her SE in the morning and ask for the key.

I'm not sure why we haven't removed the need for a license key in 5.1.2, but I'm sure we had a valid reason... which someone from California will probably be happy to share with us tomorrow...

This is probably a question better answered by my sales rep, but it is late and I doubt she would appreciate a page right now :)

Is volcopy the same as what snap copy was being touted as? If volcopy requires a separate license, why not make it part of the basic OS instead? That is, why does it require another license key?

Just curious. Thanks.
