No MS Explorer, no floppy = disks, no tapes, no clicking all over the place. I don't bother at all = with the PTBiz backup "feature". I simply have designated a = couple-hundred megs of data (includes all PTBiz files) that I back up = daily. Two clicks and it usually takes only 2 to 5 minutes for the = backup to run. This way you are protected from computer malfunction, = theft, fire, flood, hurricane, tornado, most acts of war, etc. Just make = sure your backup service is in another state. I back up to somewhere in = an underground bunker outside of Pittsburg - they claim it will survive = a nuclear attack (former military facility)!

I = too was a bit confused on procedure. Actually you can thank (smirk...) = the author for not completing the necessary program keystrokes for = making this a one keystroke procedure. After it asks you whether you want to or not make a backup, if you = say yes, it will prompt to another screen saying that the backup has = been completed. However it really isn't. From that point you have to go to Windows Explorer ( = shortcut...press the Microsoft icon key on your keyboard along with the = E key). In Windows Explorer hit the C: icon, and the +next to it. Then = scroll down to Program Files. Again hit the + icon next to Program = Files, then scroll down to the PTBiz file. Click on PTBiz then on the = right side of the screen you'll see the date in which you last backed = up, along with a 7-8 digit number. That's your backup. Now you have to copy that file ( top of page in Edit), then go to = the File column (far left) and go to SEND TO. Press SEND TO and = determine which drive you want to save the backup in. My A drive is the = floppy drive, so I send it to a: drive. You'll then see it the = information being transferred over to the disk drive. Done. Again, make sure you take the time to THANK (@#?$) the author for = this programming shortcoming. He wonders why more of his programs never = sold. Well, it's for reasons like this that makes the program laborious = to use. Tom Servinsky,RPT ----- Original Message -----=20 From: Thos.
