I use SmartSync Pro, and it does all the things you want, except I do not know about your last wish about different media. Thinks - look at the Help file... Here is what I found (no reference to tapes, I notice): --------------------------------------------------------------------- Common Features: Attractive and easy to use interface. Synchronizes your data only when it needs synchronizing. Flexible filtering system to include only the files you want. Tree-like structure of profiles and profile groups. Drag and drop support for folders, profiles and profile groups. Activity log. Easy to use New Profile Wizard for creating new profiles. Color highlighting for new, modified and deleted files and file conflicts. Detailed synchronization progress for all operations. Resolves file conflicts when the same files have been modified on both sides. Adjusts for different time zones, Daylight Saving Time. Scheduling support to run profiles whenever you want. Can dial-up before synchronization and hang up afterward. Can run external programs before and after synchronization. Profile access can be restricted to selected users only. Detects locked files and asks to retry to overwrite them. Command line support. Can be run as a service under NT4/2000/XP. Local Synchronization/Backup Features: Makes an exact copy of your directories on network computer, ZIP/JAZ drive or CD-R/CD-RW. Synchronizes two or more directories with option for deleting obsolete files. Allows for your backup files to be compressed in a ZIP archive. Allows for restoring source files from a ZIP archive with an easy to use Restore Wizard. Makes an incremental backup. Allows for restoring source files from incremental backup with an easy to use Restore Wizard. Can connect to a network drive with different user name and password. Remote Synchronization Features: Automatic program update on remote computer. Move modified files in a compressed package. Can send packages to floppy, ZIP, FTP server or by Email directly from the program. Can load packages from floppy, ZIP, FTP server or from POP3 server directly from the program. Split packages by a given size. Disk spanning support. Preserves up to 100 last versions of replaced and deleted files. Easy restoring of preserved files. Password protection for packages. ------------------------------------------------------------------ You can download a trial from http://www.smsync.com/ There is a lite version with limited functionality, and the Pro version is $US35. I am very satisfied with it - it beavers away in the background every day without complaining or needing my intervention. John	John H (8)
