OK Don, thanks, I hadn't thought about copying to another computer, but we do have that capability at home, I think. So, I'll do some checking and again thanks, this makes sense. William S. Stephan Procurement Analyst, Kansas City District National Contracting Organization

It efficiently makes a copy of a folder (including all suvfolders, if desired) to another folder. It provides many different filtering options and a scheduled time, which is referred to as a job. You can create as many jobs as you want. It only copies files that change and I have never noticed any slowdown of my computer when it kicks in. I use it's tagging feature to create daily archives of a few critical folders. This particular tag method allows me to go back to a older version based on the day of the month. Job name: Finance Source location: C:\Users\Don\Documents\Finance\ Destination location: C:\Users\Don\Documents\BackupVersioning\Finance\Day<dd>\ This particular job would create 31 different copies of this folder with the <dd> replaced by the day of the month. These folders do not contain a large number of files and disk space is cheap. The destination folder can be anywhere on your home network. Later in the night I have it copy all of my data to a different computer in my house. It works flawlessly!
