I have a utility I use here called VBACKUP.EXE which backsup the cfg, dat and
log files. The filename it produces is the date of the backup. I don't think I
ever released this to the public, but you can grab it off the ftp server at
ftp://ftp.at2k.org/upload/vbackup.exe

This is a 16-bit DOS utility. Use at your own risk. The command line to run it
is: vbackup.exe [path to put file]

I'd run it at 11:59 each night (before midnight so the logs and everything are
still intact). Make whatever directory you choose accessible in the file area.
Then I'd use VFileSyn to upload it rather than VUpload.
