I'm looking for recommendations for backup software to replace the
evil backup program that comes with MacTools Deluxe 1.2. Specifically,
I currently will be backing up to floppies, but in the (distant)
future, I may be able to afford something like one of the 128MB
optical drives.  Therefore, I'd like backup software that can use
either media.

I've heard that Retrospect is very good, but it is a bit more
expensive than I'd like. How about DiskFit Pro? Does it do what I
need?

Do any backup applications work with AutoDoubler so AD does not expand
files as they are being backed up? I know I can perform the backup
with AD turned off, but I'd like a better solution...

Thanks for your time.
