- Thanks for your comments - I recently upgraded from my old 20Meg A590 drive to
- a 330Meg drive (3 partitions - 1 main, 1 Download/FTP and 1 "Backup") and have
- been looking around for a decent backup program (Tried the one in DiskSalv, but
- it has no compression whatsoever as far as I can tell) - so I'll definately
- grab ABackup 5.10 on my next login.
