I know Longhorn Steakhouse used to use Aloha before Darden acquired them, not sure if they still do ... But if the backup program has problems, wonder if you could script a zip program to encapsulate all the files into one larger zip that the backup program might be able to stream much more efficiently

Long story very short - The Aloha Point of Sale application runs on Windows XP Sp3 machines. The app creates hundreds of 2K - 4K files each day, dumping them into a single subdirectory named by datestamp. Typically there are several thousand of these files off the parent directory, since each day a new subdirectory is created with several hundred more of the 2K-4K files. We're having problems with our backup software not being able to complete nightly backups getting stuck on these directories. I'm wondering if anyone else is running this application and if so, did you have to change anything in Aloha to make it work? What backup application are you running? ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
