HDBackup does not work consistantly. I made a test backup of a small directory to get the hang of it, then backed up the drive and reformatted. It did not restore. Fortunately, I had had the drive less than a week and I still had most of it still scattered about on floppis; rebuilding the boot partition did not take too many hours. Minor probs: toggling compression does nothing " archive bits does nothing Annoying prob: I would often get a 'Not a DOS disk in df0:' requester when placing a backup floppy in the drive. Fatal prob: When restoring, the program seemed to 'lose' files, after which it would go through the remaining discs without restoring any more files. BRU seems to have worked so far, but I'm waiting for Quarterback to arrive. hope this helps, Edjs Edward_Swatschek@mindlink.bc.ca – you've just been thWhap!ed
