	The best way I have found to backup my system is using tar. I found a 
tar out on the net that supports the aspi calls and also supports long file 
names. ( I think it is a hold over from being ported from unix.) It works at the
dos level as long as the aspi driver is loaded. This should be able to restore
 (not really restore but replace ) the files back to the hard disk from a 
floppy booted machine. There may be some holes in this plan because I have not
actually tried clearing off my hard drive and then replacing the files back. I 
am not up to speed on what hidden files need to be there or whatever.

	I figure it will get me by untill some good backup programs come out
for Win95. I am waiting on the release of EZ-SCSI from Adaptec it will be the
cheapest solution for me.

	By the way I have:
		586/75 16M
		850M EIDE HD
		Adaptec 2940 SCSI
		2x 540M SCSI HD
		Archive Viper 150 SCSI
