Hi Kelly, I don't believe I can do this. They pretty much want a full backup of their entire server kept for 7 years for legal purposes. If there is another better way to accomplish this I am open to ideas as I have not found a good solution/idea yet for this requirement. Thanks!

To expound on Richard's admonitions about the size of the archive, consider a slight modification: objects="c:\archive7yr\,d:\archive7yr\" Have your users place files they want archived into that directory with the knowledge that you back it up on a monthly basis. Then delete the contents of the directory. Kelly J.

Also, unless you have the right Excludes prepared, you will be archiving everything on the drives, which seemingly will include a lot of system files which will be worthless space-consumers in the archive storage pool and database.
