* EleBBS Support List

I'll try not to get this too off-topic, but Drew what do you use to backup
to a hdd with?  Will it go across a network drive?  The reason I ask is
because I used Nero to try to backup from a drive across a network to a DVD
and ended up with what appeared to be a good back up but was really just all
of the files filled with 00 for each byte...  I've got a mostly empty 80GB
drive that I could definitely use, but it's on a different box.
