VLIST BP FNAME may work, and may not if the source is gone. But it may be worth trying. Also, I have a Linux server on my network that has a 300 GB disk. I have NFS mounts to and from our business system to that Linux server's 300 GB disk. Nightly at 1am, a script I wrote copies our business database, including source and object, and customer/vendor data, etc. from the server to the Linux 300 GB disk in subdirectories named day_01, day_02 .... day_31 which means we have a month of backups available at any given time. I have HTTP running on the Linux server so programmers can point their browser to it, and select navigate into day_NN/BP/BP to see whatever source code they just hosed. This has saved hours of restore time for me, the IT department (yes, my title is IT Director, but I digress). Just a thought. Easy to implement, even if your server is WINDOWS based using Sambe instead of NFS. I do both, by the way, but the Samba shares backup our accountant's tax tables and other spreadsheets daily at 8am after initial editing is over (she starts at 7am).
