Hi Sean,

I solved that one 2 ways -
  1. I use the OS/2 replication facility to "back up" data to another OS/2 
machine across the LAN. This runs continuously and anything written/updated/ or 
removed from important areas of the BBS gets copied within about 15 mins. This 
totals abut 5GB of data...
  2. At the start of each month I run an automatic ZIP archive of the critical 
BBS stuff (the ZIP is abut 10MB), and the output of that gets backed up via the 
above process...

Cheers.................pk.
