I don't have any problems using CDO for mail. These are not typical backup files, they are encrypted and compressed zip files and I can schedule those from WinZipPro along with comprehensive log files and an email status report.
However, what is sort of important to me is to be able to get a handle on how long these transfers take because they are quite large and it will tell me if my WAN link is stable (consistant speed) and If I need to break it up into smaller files, etc. I tried using simple compress with WSH but the file size was too big (well over 3Gb) and zipping them gets me down to aroung 800MB. It seems to take about 1.5 - 2 hrs to upload the files, but I want hard numbers to be able to chart the efficiency.
