However, what happens in terms of restoring that backup when your windows

  I used winzip to do it zip everything in to a massive zip turned into exe.
You stil need windows up to make it unzip though. The script files MS has
for use whith setup from dos suck-- ESP the productID not being accepted in
the script file.
