Is there a hard drive backup program that works with the new files supported by GS/OS 5.0 (data/resource forks)? If anyone knows, please respond via e-mail.

ProSel-16 costs $60 (it includes ProSel-8 also) and is only available directly from the author: Glen E.

Pretty cool, and ShrinkIt/GS will almost certainly never have anything like it unless I have a whole year off from school and work (not likely). :-) andy -- ---- Andy Nicholas InterNET: shrinkit@moravian.edu Box 435, Moravian College uucp: rutgers!liberty!batman!shrinkit Bethlehem, PA, 18018 GEnie, AppleLink PE: shrinkit CIS: 70007,3141

Glen Bredon's backup works, but it makes full backups (as contrasted to incremental backups). Anybody know of any good incremental backup utils? _________________________________________________________ | | | Eric Merrill tippy!emerrill@newton.physics.purdue.edu | | | | My other witty .sig is in the shop being repaired. | |_________________________________________________________|

Glen Bredon's Prosel-16 does full backups, incremental backups, and supports backups by script (allowing you to specify only certain subdirectories, files, etc. It also allows for selective restores. With its support of extended files (aka resources forks) and error checking capability, it is IMHO, the best 60 bucks I ever spent. (BTW, the newest version is v8.0) One thing I would like to see is a catalog disk feature that knows on which backup disk a particular file resides. (i.e. restore Appleworks.GS and the application prompts you for /BU.14, instead of searching for the disk with the file you want.) One happy customer. Dave dhom@cosmos.acs.calpoly.edu

RE: Backups for System Disk 5.0...
Glen Bredons Backup program that is built into ProSel-16 (not the
stand-alone backup utility that comes with ProSel-8) is an INCREMENTAL
backup program that works fine with all files (including files with
resource forks). It has optional error correction, too. (So that backups
are nearly bullet proof).

Glen Bredon's Prosel 16 backup makes incrementals and full backups. It can do incrementals based on several different flags also. It works fine for me. Seymour Joseph
