[dba-Tech] backup

I just downloaded and am testing a freeware program called 'Uranium'.  It
has a built in scheduler, gives you the option of selecting the folders you
want to backup, and allows you to backup the files in zip or uncrompressed
format.  I'm testing it out now;  I'm backing up my PC to the server.  So
far so good...
