L> Lynn Do me a favour and winrar the 2 files properly, Keep an eye how long it takes to make and check a backup and what sizes are in both cases as I would like to know if its worth doing! If compacted files are much smaller and you have seen the size you know likely what happens with one month of data. As said compress them properly and watch security settings and then see how big it becomes. Check they are all accessible!! After you have done the backup one time and its worth it, consider buying a kingmax memory stick and run on there. Current last sticks are big enough to probably store at least a year of data.!! Obviously: watch names!! I think there will be a significant reduction in file size... Note make every month a backup and store for that month!! One you start doing it you will make your own methods to save time! But remember ALWAYS make sure to have 1 untouched copy of the data!!! And keep the month's separate as if you need the lot you likely havent got the disk-space to expand them!! -- Best regards, tracer mailto:[email protected] Windows XP 4.1.11 ________________________________________________ Current version is 4.1.11 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
