I don't understand what incremental backups are. Are they floppies containing backup files of only those whose archive bit changed? If my partition gets corrupted and I want to restore it, what good is an incremental backup if it doesn't have all the files on it? It seems to me, only a full backup can restore my partition. I would like to see a backup that you can write to that just adds the changed files to the backup. That way, it would just ask for the proper disk to be inserted that has the file in question. As it now stands, I must use 22 disks to backup one partition just so I can add those few files that have been changed. RJ……….on AutoPilot
