Thanks Brian, I'll play with tar some this weekend. I rather like tar with compression since it would mean making fewer cds. I just had read about it in Unix Backup and Recovery and when it said must list each subdirectory seperatelyy I had visions of typing for hours to create a script. Thanks Linda
