Backup

[davedynamic]

Currently I am working on a backup module.

My end users are a very simple lot, so I would naturally like a very simple procedure.

Looking though this site I saw a previous post on backing up and this works fine. As
long as the file is no larger than one floppy disk.

How do I test the backend to see if it is larger than one floppy and if it is how do I then split it up, so the user can back up to muliple floppies?

When I have had to create a backup system I have always used pkzip to crunch the backend anyway. I have never tried to use the pkzip to create disk size zip files but it seems to me there is a disk spanning option in there somewhere. You may give that a try.

Just an update.

I found an ini file that has everything done for you. My only problem now is calling the ini file. It can be done but for some reason my help crashes on this and so far I have not been able to find the right advice on Microsoft site either.
