Thank you very much, Bert.

Let me repeat this back to you to see if I understand correctly. Sometimes I am dense about these kinds of things.

cool Open Notepad. Copy and paste the following text into Notepad:

xcopy "C:\Program Files\Amazing Charts\*.enc" "H:\AC Backups" /D /V /G /H /R /K /Y

cool Change "H" to whichever drive I want to copy my encrypted files to each night.

cool Save the text file to my desktop, with a name to help me remember its function, such as "ACCRYPTO.txt" (leave off the quotes).

cool Close notepad, and rename the text file to "ACCRYPTO.bat" (leave off the quotes).

Then, each night, after I finish performing Amazing Charts Offsite Backup, I insert my flash drive, and double click on ACCRYPTO.bat.

A compressed and encrypted copy of my database will then be saved to my flash drive (or other drive of my choosing).

Have I got it right? confused
