- I used it once. It is quite nice, supports Kompression via XPK,
- can handle backups to more than one floppy, can deal with bad disks, can
- backup to a file .... BUT ... When I used it I had to run it without having
- my startup-sequence being executed, because it messed up when I did a complete
- boot and it crashed exactly when it just had to write the last backup disk -
- bad luck. It might be a nice program, worth the suggested donation, but seems
- not to be 100 percent stabe at this moment.
