I spent a long time trying to get BRU to work properly with ZIPs, and
I've come to the conclusion that it can't be done :(

I'm currently beta torturing^H^H^Htesting ABackup (by Denis Gounelle),
which I am informed is due for public release this weekend.

It works fine with ZIPs, and is generally very powerful and
comfortable to use. 

It's about time we had an actively developed and supported backup
system that works properly with removeable media.
