- I just finished "pruning" my hard drive (getting rid of unneccessary
- files, etc) in preparation for backing it up [Very necessary, the last
- time I backed it up was LAST September.. youch...]. What I need is a
- program that will reliably backup my hard drive and not require me to
- jump through hoops to do so....
-
- I've been using Turtle for years but today is the first time I tried
- it on my Mega STe..... and it didn't work.
-
- What I need is some sort of backup utility that will allow me to use
- both floppy drives in a manner similar to Turtle.... and it would be
- nice to have one that also restores files (I plan on reformatting my
- drive as soon as I backup all my partitions (including the minix
- ones..) and don't want to go thru the hassle of having to worry about
- what file belongs in what directory.... (Does anybody have a cpdir
- like the one for minix ? )
-
- Oh yeah.... I'd appreciate the Internet address for any location.... I
- can't get to it right now (Our Internet link is screwed-up, the only
- thing going in or out is Netnews.....)
-
- Please reply in this group. WHile I will EVENTUALLY get any mail sent
- to me it looks like it'll sit downstream from here for a week before I
- get it...)
-
- Thanx
- -Andy-
-
- ps. I've heard of "The Vault" but it's not on a.a & I can't find it
- elsewhere...
