How about this for Virus protection - First, you assume that you start with a clean system. Then you take your back up program and back it up. Now, you log (on paper) every file you change and when you change it. Now, when you go to do your next back up you tell the backup program to only back up files that have changed (requires some sort of checksum and date modified disk from last backup?) When it finds a changed file it tells you what was changed and when it was last modified. You check this against your list before allowing the backup. Would it work? Would it take way too much time? Just some thoughts. +=======================================================================+ |Scott Hinckley - OCS User Assistant AKA - Galaxy's End | |Georgia Insitute of Technology, Atlanta Georgia, 30332 | |uucp: ...!gatech!pyr!ccasths USnail: 345 Peachtree Pl NW | |ARPA: ccasths@pyr.gatech.edu Atlanta, Ga. 30318 | | I reply to ALL E-Mail | +=======================================================================+
