Ok Bill, but let me make you dream a little. Wouldn't it be cool the application could backup direct to the cd's or dvd's? And on top of that, wouldn't it be nice if you could restore a particular file and the app would just tell you "insert disc #xx" and be done with it? Is there a reason this could/should not be done? Mmmm... when I get to be a grown up I'll know enough python to write a backup app that works properly. _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
