Hi Mark it's good having a backup strategy like you have. For my part, I still would watch out for a used DLT tape drive on an auction to do some additional automated backups on a **different media.** Your data would fit on one tape. I see them here from time to time for around 500$ used including some media and a scsi controller. And you really should also store a backup at a **different place** from your home in case of fire, water, theft and such.
Here is a link for a freeware OE backup program, not very nice, but working: http://jubaco.light.hl-users.com/ Second Copy and similar programs could also synchronize a job in the background and I recommend NTBACKUP for autmation too. Back to Pentax topics now for me, everything has been written ;-) greetings Markus >>In my own defense, though - I do generate a lot of stuff to be backed up, >>and running the 15 - 20 gigs needed through the network >>connection takes a >>big chunk of time.
