Hello StephenB.
I just took a system backup of my old DUO, and in the process I was prompted for a filename.
Are you saying the same should occur in OS6 ? I got the impression that the backup might be saved directly to my default folder, but it was not there (not knowing the filename I looked at the latest timestamps).
Thanks for the info regarding th 50Mb (I forgot the DUO also mentioned this).
