If you're happy with Backup Exec, there's no reason to look into scripting, zipping, or anything else that I can see. I haven't used backup exec, but it ain't cheap and they have a reputation for screwing you with upgrades. This is hearsay (except the ain't cheap part <g>), but as I can see a clear path for my needs that leaves me in complete control, why fiddle with it. I have four systems to do regular backups on; another reason not to have to pay rent to a vendor if I can avoid it. I have not got on well with other backup systems in the past (MS, Norton, and Colorado), another reason for me not to be very interested. Besides I have a bunch more uses for scripting than just backups. But all this is me. If Backup Exec does what you want, well good. I'd look into its CD-R, CD-RW capability, though. For backup exec, CD-RW makes good sense if it can handle the medium. Spots
