	How often would you need to switch it across?
	I thought you would install and setup on the ss2, then when
	you were happy with the config move the disk across to the
	ss5 and test it all works. Once completely happy just copy
	everything to the original disk and all is done.

	Are you looking for something to make a regular backup?
