I have client who have recenlty been stung by the inability to perfrom this
simple ritual and two weeks later when I go in after hours I find that day's
backup disk sitting next to the backup drive. Its hard to script that into
the backup routine "write data to disk next to drive" :o)

Hi Susan and John

Yeah, the same old story. Why do these people not make a backup in six
months? It is unbelievable.
Today you have tape stations, cd/dvd-burners for USD 100, USB keys, harddisk
single-button external backup, Send-To-Zip in Windows XP ... I never learn
to figure this it-doesn't-happen-to-me attitude out.

My client just copied an old backend over the current backend on her
hard
drive.  She has lost 6 months of data.  She is OK with reentering the
data,
but I was wondering if I could add some code to the exit button that
would
automatically back up the backend to say a CD.  She has Windows XP.
