     I have had enough of the DOS BACKUP utility! ! !

It is time for me to find a better alternative to disk backup.

BACKUP bombed while backing up my disk because the 25th floppy in a series
of 35 had a bad FAT.  This is a fatal error that causes BACKUP to abort
making it difficult to finish the backup without restarting it
or continuing it directory by directory  (I have many).

Question:  Is there any good public domain backup utilites?

I have heard good things about FASTBACK but wonder what they have that
I could not find in the Public domain or write my self.
Does any one know how they get so much on a disk?
