My reply... I backup every night to three DVDs 1. Stays near my computer 2. Goes in the glove box of my car 3. Goes with my wife to work in the next city. Every week, I mail a DVD to my father-in-law in Hawaii. This keeps me pretty secure, and I have NEVER lost a file that I needed since 1981, when I started computing. The Bat backups are stored every night. -- ________________________________________________ Current version is 3.0.1.33 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
