This I feared.  Not as simple I as I'd hoped.  The site I'm looking it 
at currently copies several directories to an 'extra' hard drive, builds 
an ISO then burns it to a CD-RW (less than 640 MByte).  Business owner 
would like a simple off site backup option.

I will dive into the documentation and see how I can make it work.

Again thanks.
