OK, crisis averted...VZ re-did the xfer for me. Took the guy a while, though...he couldn't get to the bluetooth config on their 'copy' machine...the bt dongle was plugged into their other copier...
Thanks for the pimpackup tip....I'll be running that daily with a sync of the b/u directory to my home PC....and to thence external storage...then finally to an offsite mozy backup!!!!
