- Could someone using the GTAK software tell me how to backup to floppies,
- with compression, or at least how YOU are doing it? I tried it with the
- -S option but this seems to use the number of bytes read rather than the
- number of bytes written, not the same when compression is used. It creates
- the files name.001, name.002, etc. on the floppies but when the floppy gets
- full it says "device full" and starts writing name.00# files, with zero
- length, to the floppy. I can change the floppy, after OS/2 pops up an error
- that the incorrect device is in my floppy drive, and continue but I'm not
- convinced it is backing up properly?

- Thanks,
- Gary
