    Brilliant John … my backup will now be complete. You are a total star :-)

    I’m sure we can do something with your original account … the admins have the power … or at least I think we do, LOL I’ll go have a look and see if we can restore you to your former glory :-D

    BTW re 1Password … did I mention the benefits of backing up? *ducks*

    You Can, and as a good techie I did, but that failed as well, so lucky the iPhone can be counted as a backup as well ! ! lol.
