I haven't backed up my disk in a few months (from before I had a GCR), so this may not apply, although I cannot think of a reason why. PC Tools/MAC makes a reliable, fast disk backup. Good points are: I have saved/restored a 15 Mbyte partition regularly without problems. Pad points are: An obvious PC port (it isn't too bad but it ain't the 'real' thing), compressed files on floppies that the finder cannot read. This means that the program is required to restore files (but it does take less floppies than a non-compressed format.) The above represent my abservations about my circumstances. You milage may vary. The above does not represent an endorsement, just the story of a semi-satisfied customer. -- brian oplinger@crd.ge.com <#include standard.disclaimer>
