- I bought fastback plus (versions 2 and 3) and also norton backup and I
- am not happy with either. I have used fastback for many years. Does
- anyone know of another such program that is "better"? One of the
- features that none of these have is the ability to turn off the archive
- bit on all the files in a subdirectory so that they are not included in
- an incremental backup. Sure, you can exclude that sub, but every time
- you do an incremental you have to exclude it. What I have been doing is
- going to DOS and using attr.com to turn it off. THre are several other
- complaints I have about both FB and NB. I know this doesn't quite fit
- comp...hardware, but I don't see a comp...software.
- thanks
