OK, we all know that the HD Backup program distributed by Apple with 
System updates is a functional hard disk backup program.  It's generally
reliable (isn't it?).  At least I've had no problems with it.

The new situation:  We've now got AppleShare up and running on a Mac Plus
with a 91 megabyte hard drive, and it's time to do backups.  To floppies, 
unfortunately, as we don't have a tape backup unit.

Is there a program better than Apple's HD Backup that'll work well with
AppleShare?  Everything's gotta be saved ... files, folders, all access
privileges, all comments in the Get Info boxes (very very important), all
users, groups, etc. etc.  I don't care if I do the backup from a workstation
or if I have to take the server offline and do it from there.  And then
there's the issue of periodical incremental backups, too ... how easy will
those be?

Please post responses, if appropriate.  I don't think hard disk backup programs
have been discussed recently.
