you're welcome. i escaped the binary strings (without testing *all* my changes) as well as modified barrybkup to only attempt to tar directories with data. i also added a -p option to the relevant programs to select the device when more than one is installed, but i can't test it as i only have one device. i've tested barrybkup. comparing the new output to the old ouput, but i haven't tested the changes to the other programs (same changes, copy and paste, *should* work). one odd thing i've noticed: the record type on *all* databases is usually 08 00, but sometimes they are *all* 07 00 (while in your file bb_task_format.txt you list 09 00). any idea what this is about? -ashley -- No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.
