I agree with you, Jim. My preference has always been for things that "thrive on neglect". Old-fashioned DOS batch files just make me nervous.
<set flame=on> My latest software discovery for file back-up and synchronization is a free program from www.2brightsparks.com called SyncBack. This gem can perform automated back-ups (makes an exact copy of your files in a second location) or synchronization (compares the files in two locations and make them identical based on the most recent date/time stamps) using the Windows scheduler -- so there is no processor overhead for having this run in the background. Aside from file I/O, the program knows about stuff like SMTP, HTTP, FTP, and ZIP -- very flexible. A very cool, FREE utility and highly recommended. <set flame=off> -larry K8UT ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jim Reisert AD1C" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Roger D Johnson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, December 04, 2005 23:37 Subject: Re: [Dx4win] DX4Win backups > At 04:01 PM 12/1/2005, Roger D Johnson wrote: > >>I wrote a small batch file for the old PKZIP program that writes the data >>in the SAVE folder to a floppy. > > That's a great start, Roger, but you still have to run it by hand. > > I like the Iomega Automatic Backup program because it runs silently in the > background without user intervention. > > People will generally do the minimum to get by, so relying on them to > initiate backups is a bad policy, in my opinion. > > 73 - Jim AD1C > > > -- > Jim Reisert AD1C, 7 Charlemont Court, North Chelmsford, MA 01863 > USA +978-251-9933, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, http://www.ad1c.us > > _______________________________________________ > Dx4win mailing list > [email protected] > http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon Dec 5 10:33:21 2005 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Jim Reisert AD1C) Date: Mon Dec 5 10:35:27 2005 Subject: [Dx4win] DT8A starting January 2006 Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [The Daily DX] Vol. 9 No. 231 - December 31, 2005 DT8A will be on the air from the Korean Antarctic base "King Sejong," all of next year.
