That came down ok, thanks.  Just tested it with backing up one small
folder 
and it sparked off a frenzy of Terminal windows.  Scary stuff! :-)

25 years of System/OS development and it still needs to use a 'green
screen' 
interface though?  Erk!!  All seems a bit to geeky for me.  I'm a simple
soul 
that likes a nice, friendly UI.

So far, I reckon Superduper is the best backup utility I've found

Thanks for all the help...
