Two Question? I need your opinion.

[Manny Somarriba]

I would like to know which is the best way to create a backup and restore procedure in VB Code. What are the diferences between both tasks.

to use PKZIP and PKUNZIP utility compress decompress
if I use this utility in my programs do I have to pay some fee to the PKZIP creator company?.

OR

to use CopyFile Script procedure
With this procedure is posibly to create a serie of floppy disk from a database backup?

Thank for your cooperation

PKZIP at a DOS level is I believe freeware these days.
WinZip is shareware, and can be/should be properly licensed for coprorate use.

These programs MIGHT allow you to store more information on a floppy disk than a simple copy of the files (some files when you try to compress them get bigger).

FileCopy is easier, and can be done without external .BAT files etc. Especially as on restore you might need to check dates of the restored object before copying it....
