My question is how do I automate this process. <LIGHT FLAME ON> You just have to "spam" EVERY SINGLE database newsgroups there is, don't you? <LIGHT FLAME OFF> The answer on NT is simple. EVERY service can be turned ON or OFF AT THE COMMAND PROMPT. Write a batch file to do so (you will need to know the exact service name), then find a scheduler (Microsoft's WIN95 PLUS! pack has one) to have that run before the backup starts, and restart the service after the backup ends. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Kasey Chang DCL, Fremont, CA k a s e y c @ d i s c o p y . c o m PDOXWIN, Star Trek, Computer Games, Science Fiction, Writing, && more --------------------------------------------------------------------- Commercial use of this e-mail address implies your consent to pay me amounts of up to US$100.00 per e-mail message from you received by me.
