- I used BackUP and in fact I just registered and got some custom
- changes. It has a pretty good compression ratio using the lh.library.
- It backs up to floppies only (but since that's all I have, it was a
- good deal). It's pretty easy to use, has a good user interface,
- point-and-click, file-requestor, configuration tweaking, etc.

- He's pretty friendly and will answer any questions or concerns
- you may have.

- Hope this helps.
