Has anyone bothered to do the obvious experiment, namely backup a test drive's resources, quick format it, and then dump its resources again? By resources, I mean the contents of all the SA tracks, not just the "visible" ones.

Yes, it works. Moreover if you save nesessary things (related to 2nd translator) , wipe disk out (zerofill 100% of user space), return modules back, you can get back up to 8Gb of "previuse" data.
