- I used upto V2.0i of AmiBack. But I currently use Diavolo 3.x. It
- allows appending other BU's to the tape....and I like the drag and drop
- interface. I just start it...drag the disks onto the window and click
- 'start backup'.
-
- It only has trouble with two partitions, but AmiBack wouldn't back these
- partitions up either (my USENET spool and the BBS messages partition).
-
- Actually, it has successfully backed them up on occasion, but I recently
- expanded both partitions.
