USB Backup with voice notification.

[Hemlok]

I hope someone might find this version I chopped up useful. Its just a USB copy script created by someone else, with the voice function wrapped in. It makes for a nice backup utility for long backup jobs where I turn my speakers up loud and when she says "The backup process is complete! Press any key to exit" I know its done . No checking the PC over and over. I have large USB drives so this was useful in helping me avoid baby sitting my backup jobs. You can obviously change it to say whatever.


Enjoy.
