Thanks, Mel.  I will checkout SyncBackSE.  The thing I liked about 
the Iomega package was it would automatically detect in real-time 
when a file was modified and then back it up even if it was still 
open.  It also gave you the option of how many revisions to keep 
before deleting the oldest ones.

I've been Googling the subject and found several $50-$60 packages.  I 
don't mind paying a fair price for a good product, I was just curious 
what other D4W users were using.  Thanks for the referral.
