Hi Gena.Need to check this out also. Never heard of it before, but backing up is getting pretty complicated now as my collection of music and movies grows.
Best wishes. Andy.----- Original Message ----- From: "Georgina" <gena@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Hi Oh, ya! That takes me back too! But now-a-days I like this utility for backups and synchronisation, on the Windows platform. http://www.2brightsparks.com/tutorials/tutorials-hub.html Regards Gena -----Original Message-----From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf OfAndy Logue Sent: 13 February 2008 11:40 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: Maxter 750GB external hard drive Exactly Roger. So now we need 2 external drives, giving you 3 drives in total. But interestingly, how do you manage these? In the good old DOS days, I could, at the dos prompt type something like this: xcopy c:\mydocuments /s/date=.. where everything before or from a particular date wascopied to another directory. Must say, I miss some of these old dos commands.

We have indeed bought the Maxter 750GB, though they sold it to us at £109.99, but I didn't argue over the few pounds more than Andy paid at his Glasgow store. Ian is currently copying our music collection over to the new drive, and it seems quite nifty. The only slightly annoying aspect of buying largerdrives is that you lose a lot of space due to the formatting. For example, on this drive, the free space available is 698.whatever on a total of 750GB.That's just about 50GB lost. I've noticed the larger the drives, the more formatting space is used. Anyhow, this certainly appears to be a good buy if anyone is thinking of upgrading. Thanks Andy very much for bringing that to our attention.
