There was a discussion here about backup recently. IIRC some people thought Seagate backup was reliable/useful, others preferred ghost. On that score, another disadvantage of a conventional backup is that if there are large numbers of corrupted files around, these will still be left to be manually removed (if you can identify them all) after the restore? Seagate backup, now provided with W98 (SE), seems to provide a useful way to back up a small amount of data to _floppies_, but is it reliable, used this way? Whilst running this only a few times I got several (transitory) blue screens saying drive A was not accessible data may be lost. No data seemed to be lost doing a verify, but on another occasion a restore simply stopped working. -- John Chapple
