I've gotten my hard disk all setup like I want it and so now I want to
back it up.  I would like something which does compression as its backing
things up. I looked at a program from hobbes called OBACKUP, but i had
little luck getting itt to work. I'm running OS/2 V2.0. I started OBACKUP
in a full screen session. I was able to mbackup a single file, but
it would always abort (with no messages) when I tried to backup the entire
drive. I am sure I was following the instructions correcly. Has anyone
else got this program to run? Or are there other backup programs which
do compression?

thanks
