Can it be True?!!? A Backup to DISC File?!?!! Oh, ThankYouThankYouThankYou!!!

Its always been a pet peeve of mine that you could not Back up HP files to
disc. (Of course not for proper system backups, but it does make a nice options
for moving files between systems).

If for no other reason, this will justify a move to 5.5. So you have my
permission to '<Plug>' away James.
