DiskFit.  I love it.  It lets you maintain an up-to-date full backup
in five minutes per day, by keeping track of which floppies have which
files and replacing those files which have changed since yesterday.
I can't recommend it highly enough.

If you have an AppleShare server on a medium to large network, get
Network DiskFit.  It lets you backup the server over the network,
maintaining the protection info, as well as a DiskFit license for
every Mac on your net.
