Dajo,

Thank you, Thank you... Way to kind!
It works exactly as I want it to work!

One more question about the LOG files. In the command line I used the switch
/l:s wich creates a standard LOG file. But how can I see if a backup is
succesfull and what the eventual errors are? The /l:f switch doesn't tell me
anything more either. It just displays all the files that have been backed
up?! Any suggestions?

Kind regards,
Herman
