WHEN it comes out
will I be able to backup onto the floppies and then restore to the hard drive
and be in FAST FILE FORMAT?????
PLUS one other question…what is a go program to copy files and keep the
date stamp the same!!!????
Palmer,
I can't speak about Quarterback, but I can speak for saf-T-net, which is an
other hard disk backup program (I am the author). It works quite well with
both the old and the to-be-released Fast-File-System. There is a review of
saf-T-net in issue #1 of Transactor for the Amiga. If you have any more
questions, please feel free to ask.

Palmer,
Don't know much about QuarterBack but if your looking for a backup
program, take a look at safTnet also. safTnet does work with the 1.3 FFS and
it's author (Bob Rakosky) is a daily visitor of this forum. Which means help is
only as far away as your modem.

Palmer –
As a user of saf-T-net I can vouch for what Bob (the less than impartial author
of same) has written. saf-T-net is _EASY_ to use. You do not have to even
provide formatted diskettes, it does it as necessary. AND I have done it both
ways – BACKUP and RESTORE.

I've been using quarterback and am mostly pleased. I've had a lot of hd
trouble, and I've used the backups and restores heavily. The only problems are
in file selection – it ignores the do not back up file by name option and backs
up files anyway, and on restore, if you tell it not to overwrite, it stops at
every file that it finds exists and asks you if it should overwrite. After the
first couple hundred files you get pretty p o'd.

Ron,
You should've tried the best (Saf-T-Net) instead of the rest!
