Historical 'snap-shop' backups are another matter entirely. The main problem with most backup systems is that deleter and name-chamged files remain in the backup, so housekeepung this becomes a sever pain. With my method, we keep one main directory neat and tidy and let name changes and deletion fade gently away in the backups. Been using it for several years now - it works well, but that's on a manual basis. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Richard Torrens 4QD manufacture speed controllers for battery electric motors. www sites http://www.4QD.co.uk http://www.4QDtec.com http://www.4QD.org All email addresses are copyright.
