I agree that copying files to a DOS drive and backup up from there works just fine. The problem is that it takes a lot of manual steps if you want to back up an entier 1.6G PAR drive, especially if you don't have enough space on your DOS drive to do it all at once. Also, QIC-80 drives don't hold enough to make frequent backups very attractive (too much tape swapping). I usually use DOS to move the .ANI files back and forth by means of a batch file. What I am looking for is a SIMPLE solution that lets me backup and restore the entire PAR drive with no manual steps. This would make it easier to switch from one major project to another. Thanks for your help!
