If you back up to floppies, the main advantages with DiskFit are that it does not use a keydisk, and that the files are saved in Mac file format. That is, if you lose a disk, you can still retrive the files on the other disks, and you can use standard Mac procedures to retrieve it. Redux use a key disk, and use its own file format. This is probably much faster, and it enables a wide range of backup options, but if you lose the keydisk, or the program gets into trouble with its own file format, then you are out of luck.
