I recently heard some rumors that Packit III will effect an HD20-to-floppy backup capability. Is this true? If so, will it allow you to (groan) make an initial many-floppy backup and then only make incremental backups (ie. backup EVERYTHING on 3/25, then next week it'll only backup up files WRITTEN or MODIFIED *AFTER* 3/25 (at appropriate time), etc. If not Packit III, is there ANY HD20 backup program in the works?

Yesterday I found out the hard way that I really should have taken a a backup on my HD20. A funny sound from the HD20 indicated that I no longer had my data and programs. I was lucky since I have had my disk just for a few weeks, so I have only lost a few days of work. Surely someone must have a little program that copies all files changed since last backup? Using a harddisk without backup is madness. I knew it before, but I know it even better now. Dan Sahlin
