Any decent backup program will do this, such as ABackup. you can set up
prerecorded filters that scan certain paths, backing up all files or
only those that have changed since the last backup.
The commercial Diavolo goes one better by having a commodity that will
perform backups automatically, although you could do this with any cron
type program.
Chris, why not include ABackup on the NC3 CD, assuming there's no
distribution restriction?
