It takes MUCH less time to encrypt things than it does to transmit them over the net to a server - for my ~4.6 Gb backup, it takes about 3 minutes to encrypt. Sending it to my backup server then takes the best par of an hour (at 10 Mbit/s upload speed). I suspect your upload speed is way less, but if you had a few hundred megabytes of really special stuff, this route might be useful. > I'll come up with something tho. > Dale > :-) :-) -- Alan Mackenzie (Nuremberg, Germany).
