A quick search revealed that MailBag Assistant (MBA) is by Eric Fookes. I've been a fan of NoteTab for years (IMO, the best Windows text editor around), so I'm downloading the eval version of MBA as I write. > Other ways are to create nested subdirectories.

I back up to tape each week night using the standard "10-tape rotation". So, I have three months-worth of backups without creating additional files. Thus, the sub-directory approach may work for me -- but I'll check out MBA. Knowing Eric of old, I suspect it'll be superb and well worth the $30 asking price. > Hope this helps.
