HARDBAC.ZIP 48168 05-29-89 HardBack is a hard-disk back-up program
| designed specifically for backing up one hard
| disk onto another hard disk (or similar
| device, such as a Bernoulli drive). The idea
| is that you could have two hard disks and use
| one to backup the other. The advantages are
| that this is much faster (as little as 30
| seconds), more reliable and probably cheaper
| than a tape backup and if your primary drive
| crashes, you can run from the other hard
| disk. (John Haugeland) (Reg.Fee: $25)
HDDINFO.ZIP 81778 07-26-93 HDDInfo 1.0 helps to identify technical data

| each pattern can be read back correctly,
| while preserving the contents of the clusters
| that already contain data. HDTest may also
| detect errors which are minor enough to be
| correctable by the disk controller's own
| error-correcting code, but which may fortell
| future problems. (Peter Richard Fletcher)
| (ASP) (Reg.Fee: $35)
HDTRAK14.ZIP 79990 10-28-93 HardTrack 1.4 keeps track of and reports on

LIFT2.ZIP 6915 08-05-92 Lift2 lists the 20 files on your hard disk
| which were most currently recently accessed.
| This utility is of little value if you use
| Windows 3 regularly, since you can easily
| have 20 files that get routinely updated by
