     I've asked this question before with no response but with all the
discussion on HD's, I thought I'd ask it again!

     Does anyone know of a program which measures the performance of 
a hard disc on an Atari ST?  (for the purpose of optimizing the 
interleave factor & thus the performance of the disc)

     Also, does anyone know of a backup program which will save an
entire disc partition to floppies like the MS-DOS BACKUP program does?

     Most of the programs I've seen simply copy all HD files to floppies 
and get confused with files which are larger than the size of a single 
floppy.

Thanks in advance for any information...
