Short: Backup RDB along with data before it (eg pc's MBR)
Author: Tadek Knapik <tadek@malenstwo.iinf.polsl.gliwice.pl>

Type: disk/misc
This program lets you backup your RigidDiskBlock along with
possible data placed before it. This means it will help you when you,
like me, have an Amiga hard disk with a fully-qualified pc-partition. On
block 0 there is pc MBR (Master Boot Record), and Amiga RDB starts on
block 3. Rigids by default saves to a file all data from block 0 to the
end of RDB data. And it can restore it, if course :)
It can also backup only RDB, or start backup at specified
offset. When restoring, default action is to write data from the file
exactly to where it was on the disk. But you can choose to write only
RDB at specified offset as well.
Still considered beta, because I hadn't too many volounteers for
betatesting :))
