If you prefer a solution that will work faster and more reliably, both Seagate Backup Exec and Computer Assoc. BrightStor (formerly ArcServe) have backup agents that you can get and install on other machines on the network. The purpose of the backup agent is to speed up the transfer of data from the remote machine back to the machine where the tape drive resides and also make it more reliable. Also, you don't have to have mapped drives to back up using the backup agents - you simply tell the backup server to connect to the remote machine, and you can also back up the registry as well as all programs and data on the machine. I recommend you go to their web sites and look at what's available. Hope this helps!

Oops! I meant Veritas Backup Exec, not Seagate - sometimes it's hard to keep up with whose on first. . .
