It appears that some of the backup scripts recently posted do backup to a different folder on the same drive. If so, this provides very little protection. At a minimum, your backup should go to a different physical drive. Even better is to backup to a different machine, and ideally to a different location to provide protection against fire, flood, etc. Also, for those setting up CVS repositories. If CVS seems sluggish, it could be your virus protection software. The CVS web site has warnings about CVS operations failing with McAfee or Norton virus software, but even with other virus software, if you don't disable virus checking in your repository it will slow down your CVS operations.
