Off-site backup: If your backup of your data is not too big, then you can store extra copies in your car, a spot near your letter box and on web sites that offer storage (I use Humyo.com). The backup file of The Bat is kept in my documents, so it is included in the backup. The documents are password protected, using an archiving program - I use WinRAR. Also I exclude fat files like photos - these are kept locally rather than on the net as we have slow upload here. Flash drives are handy. CD and DVD can also help. -- Paul ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using The Bat! v4.2.18 Christmas Edition on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 3 ...I was going to procrastinate, but I put it off.... ________________________________________________ Current version is 4.2.12.4 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
