BACKUP USING ZTREE   [General]

I use ZTree to incrementally backup weekly from one hard drive to another (remote) hard drive. I do this by Alt-Copy of all files in the specified directories that have the Archive attribute set (tagged by visual inspection when the files are sorted in date order). And after each Alt-Copy, of course, I remove the A attribute from all copied files.

Apart from the tagging being a bit tedious, this approach means that there is an increasing number of files on the remote drive that have been deleted from my drive. Is there a simple way to do a true incremental backup using the Compare functions in Ztree? There are about 6,000 files totalling 2Gb altogether.

Thanks in anticipation -- I'm sure I could work it out in time if I waded through the Help file, but I figure others have got it all worked out, and I'm pretty pressed for time at the moment.
