    Want to backup my data automatically. Which means I do not want to touch the damn thing to make it do anything after the intital setup. Do you guys have any suggestions of any software that I may buy?

    How much do you have to backup?
    What do you want to backup to?
    How often do you want to backup?
    How much do you want to spend?

    I am backing up a realativly small database. Right now I Just burn it to a CD about once a week. I do not have time to deal with this task. On the basis of money, pretty much the sky is the limit, with some modest restrictions. I would like to back it up on another PC on my network.

    If it is a single-file db I you can create a batch file that copies it to another location (another hd or a network connected pc), create a scheduled task to run the batch file at 1 / 2 am (a time that it is not changed).
