Hi Chris,

Thanks a ton for this.  I am trying to test it now.  How do I get the second Windows service
running and backing up to the second store server?

Here's what I've tried so far.

Install Box Backup (with my InstallJammer installer).
Install service (a step in my installer) (with default bbackupd.conf, not specified. 
CommandSocket = pipe ).
Start service.  Runs fine.
Copy bbackupd.conf to bbackupd2.conf.  
In bbackupd2.conf,
  Change StoreHostname to point to second server.
  Change DataDirectory to ...\bbackupd2
  Change StoreObjectInfoFile to ...\bbackupd2\...
  Change PidFile to ...\bbackupd2\...
  Change CommandSocket to ...\bbackupd2\bbackupd.sock 
But I can't seem to get the 2nd service to install: 
C:\Program Files\TebucoSafe>bbackupd -i "C:\Program Files\TebucoSafe\bbackupd2.conf"
ERROR: Failed to create Box Backup service: it already exists

Please let me know what I should do next.  

Thanks again!
Pete

P.S.  The LogAllFileAccess option in bbackupd.conf really helps a lot--thanks for that!

P.P.S.  Some funky options handling on the command line (can't use "-i and -c"; standard windows
/? chokes; -h not clear that _can't_ use -c flag with -i, but _may_ specify .conf file; does -r
take a .conf file?)  

P.P.P.S.  bbackupd on the command line prints only the header info to the cmd window and nothing
else, no progress at all.  bbackupd -v prints great info to the cmd window.
