The BACKUP.EXE in MSDOS 2.11 from DEC has lots of nice screens etc.
The online documentation claims that it is possible to indirect a file
which contains a list of files to be backed up, instead of using
filespecification (with metacharacters) directly.  This is obviously
useful for more "selective" backups.  Problem:  I cannot get it to
work!  Any experienced users out there?

Can any public domain software handle this delicate task of backing up
and restoring reliably on the Rainbow?
