   This backs up the current (the rep created in the present mail
session) rep packet.  However you could do it both ways if you
like.  I.e.

 if exist g:\spare\techndrm.rep copy g:\spare\techndrm.rep g:\second
 if exist g:\bw\upload\techndrm.rep copy g:\bw\upload\techndrm.rep g:\spare

   This would backup the backup as well as the current rep.  I
changed the "sx" to "bw\upload" as I think that is clearer for BW
users.  You would have a current rep on "bw\upload" and "spare".
And the previous rep would be on "second".

   You just have to remember that the copies take place EVERY time
you call the BW Reader via the batch file.  You can start the
Reader without the batch file if you don't want to overwrite you
backups.

    Good luck, 
      Charles
