Backup software

[chansen]

I need a two-part backup solution. I have one file to back up.

First, every weeknight, I want to back it up to CDR, burning the file into a new directory or filename (name based on the date) each time.

Second, I'd like the file FTP'ed off-site every week.

Does anyone have any suggestions for backup software?

Thanks,
Craig

If anyone there knows VB / VBscript I think there is command-line / batch CD burning software out there, and VB can FTP with components from MS and others like Dart.

If not you could probably pay someone here $50-100 to do it for you. Not me, I've used up my free time neffing

I did something like this with a bunch of batch files and windows scheduler. It was tedious, but it worked. If you have some kind of packet writing software on your computer, you could write a batch file with a name like "backup01.bat" for the first of the month, "backup02.bat" for the 2nd, etc. In each batch file would be a similar command, just with a different destination. backup01.bat would look like:

copy d:\file.dat e:\01\

Replace d:\file.dat with your file's location and name, and e:\ would be the letter of your cdrw drive. Then schedule each batch file to run on its appropriate day at a specified time, change the cd once a month (or as often as you like) and let it go.
