Does it mean it is a backup job I had done? The file is huge - 2,408,828 KB! I was wondering if at one time I may have inadvertently made a system backup? When I click on it, it tells me that BACKUP.EXE is missing. Do you think this huge file is safe to delete? Thans for all the help - this forum is GREAT!!!

I would never tell anyone to delete a backup unless you have one that's more recent. That file is from a MS tape backup.

If you are getting error messages relating to it post the text of the error message and we will try to help.

Good Luck

Thanks for the advice, I just thought if it was an unnecessary file I would delete it considering it's size - but I'll keep it.
