Something else to consider is what happens if the backup is interupted. I was on disk number 85 with DiskFit when my Mac crashed (don't know whose fault it was). When I rebooted and restarted my backup, DiskFit asked me for disk 85 - what a relief. I also second the reasons other people have praised DiskFit: standard file format - for safer backup (more ways to restore data) convenient incremental backup - it reuses floppies and only asks for the necessary disks. Some backup programs just add more disks, and apparently Redux requests all disks.
