Date: Sun 13-Sep-1991 19:29:01 From: asd@sage.cc.purdue.edu (Kareth) Subject: To users of backup to OD utilities, want info Of late, I've started to aquire a bit more software off of FTP, and my old habit of copying whatever I added to my hard drive to a backup OD is getting a little old, not to mention being a pain. So the other day, I was wandering thru the 2.0 sources on Sonata, and found several backup to od programs, as well as a bunch of other really cool stuff that I didn't know was there, and unfortunately can't use since I'm not networked. Anyways, some of the utilities I ran across seemed awfully hesitant about saying their program worked. One even mentioned some bug that should rarely pop up, but that sorta spooked me. What I'd like to know is, what are you folks using? How well does it work? How easy is it to setup? Have you ever had it fail or messup a backup? I'd like something that I can do full/incremental backups on, and which isn't too hard to setup or run. thanks -k
