Piece of cake. Use archives for your long-term backups. Create a weekly archive client schedule with a six-month retention, and a monthly archive schedule with a year's retention. You'll end up with one nodename and three schedules, all associated with the one nodename. -- Mark Stapleton ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Berbee Information Networks Office 262.521.5627
