My dad's rainbow just crashed it's harddisk, and finally
proved to him (I told him so! :-) that he needs to do
regular backups.  Does anyone have reccommendations for
Rainbow-compatible programs?

I know there is always DEC's BACKUP.EXE, but I was hoping
for something more polished like FASTBACK for the clones.
Will any of these work on the 'bow?

Question two:  Are there any substitutes for those RX50
diskettes that will work reliably?  Now that we have MS-DOS,
formatting is easy, but I don't know if AT disks will work
Any Suggestions?  I'm getting sick of paying RX50 prices,
even through discount places like Richard Young.

Thanks!
