Ira and All I have never had any problems doing an automatic backup when exiting CFT-WIN, however I have just upgraded from 2.27 to 2.29 and the 2nd time I exited from the program (ie: 2nd. backup) I got an error 160 message. It appears to happen every time now unless I delete the old zip file first. I have tried backing up to floppy and hard drive and it happens on both.
