Fastback II does that (compresses while it backs up). It gives couple options something like: no compression, minimize time (to back up), minimize space (on backup medium). It also bunches all your files into one big one (which I prefer) (maybe optionally leaves them separate?), and works to appleshare server (including unix machine via gatorbox) -- the only program I could find that does that correctly, though others try to claim it. And, it has a macro capability, including the ability to run macros unattended, so you can schedule back up in the middle of the night, but you must leave your machine on (surprise!) and you must leave fastback running. -Drew Wade drew@objy.com
