I have tried seperate save streams by specifying

C:\Directory\*.301
C:\Directory\*.302
C:\Directory\*.303
Etc.
The problem is the biggest save stream (c:\directory\*.301) never starts
even though I have set the time out to 90Minutes. I can't set the time out
any longer due to other considerations.
When I back up using ALL, the writes happen at 32-64KBPS, and the backup
takes 20 hours.
I tried to create a zip file using WinZip, but WinZip is limited to 65K
files.

What have your experiences been in similar sittuations?

Thanks
