Thank you I will look into it. All I really need is to backup my message bases,
userlists, and about 8 of the door game players files that change a lot weekly,
the rest would be redundant. I have one full backup I keep and it takes a while
to do. It would recreate the entire BBS if needed. I have done it on an old pc
I am restoring and it worked great. I was hoping to make a script to back up
the changes each week or day as some SYSOPs are doing. I am studying F BACKUP
at the moment because it can be automated. I have a batch file in the works.
Thank you for the information on BURP. Have a great day!
