Ok, the WinXP backup utility does exactly what I want to do EXCEPT:

it creates ONE big backup file.



Instead I want it to mirror the files, essentially use the backup drive as another regular 'ol drive.

I am aware that changing anything on the backup and otherwise using it as a working drive sort of defeats the purpose so I am diligent in avoiding that right now.

I just take all the files and folders I have COPY then PASTE onto the backup drive and say YES TO ALL when prompted to overwrite everything.  I suppose I just want to automate that process.

I want to avoid restoring some big backup file.


thanks,
Dan

Not that I'm recommending it but XP has the Breifcase.  Might work for you.

I found Microsoft's SyncToy and it does what I need
