Well, thanks to everyone who responded to my call for advice on
backup software. There seem to be several schools of thought here: those
with big (>100MB) disks, who back up to 45MB removable HDs, seem to like
FastBack; those with several files of the same type that they back up each
{month|week|day}, or who backup to tape, seem to like Retrospect; those
with small (<100MB) disks, with general backup needs, seem to like Redux.
I have a 45MB removable drive, and I'll only be backing up to
floppies. So, I'm getting Redux. Thanks to all for your help - I'd list
you all by name, but there were about 30 of you! wow...
John
