A simpler *backup* (not archiving) solution is do is cycle CDRWs. On a four-week cycle, you use four CDRWs, one for each week. I record the date in the Volume label of the CDRW. When you get to week five you re-use the first week CDRW and start another cycle. This is repeated every week there after. So 4 -> 1 (burn this one) 3 -> 4 (move this one) 2 -> 3 (move this one) 1 -> 2 (move this one) I don't label my CDRWs so I can simply by moving them from one numbered cases to another. You can semi-automate this procedure with a script - still have to insert a CDRW thou. The result is you have four weeks of backups (or more if you like) and only have to burn one CDRW a week. No need to worry about multisessions at all. Gabriel
