Most definitely a keeper. :-) What did I do convert you to incremental backups? :-) You will find these are just flat out FAST! Did you see 7-Zip author will be coming out with a newer version? ,----- [ http://www.7-zip.org/ ] | 7-Zip 4.00 (2004 May): | | 1. Multivolume | 2. Absolute pathnames in command line | 3.

See Thomas Anderson's message per mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Any ideals? Just thinking out loud here. Doesn't Systinternals (http://www.sysinternals.com/) have freeware utilities where you could check to see if TB was running? ,----- [ Per "About The Bat!

When "The Bat!" process not there, then start backup batch file. Am I in left field here, or do you catch my drift? Is there an easier way? I have learned some programming, but am not aware of all of the nuances of NT systems.
