OK, I've managed to avert disaster and recovered by judicious file copying from my last tape backup. And I've now created a Bat Backup using the inbuilt backup routine, I ought to know better really!
Now I've discovered that TheBat can process automated backups using the Scheduler. Brilliant! Thing is, does TheBat Scheduler require the full Bat application to be running or does it run as a separate 'service' in the background? -- Best regards Barry barryh'at'kentra'dot'co'dot'uk Using TheBat! version 3.65.03 and BayesIt 0.8.4 ________________________________________________ Current version is 3.65.03 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
