I am looking for a good hard disk backup program for the II GS.
Actually, since I don't have any right now, even a bad one will help.
[Good == choice of full or incremental dump & restore, with
automatic date-stamp determination of new files for the
incremental case.]
Ideally it will run under the system 3.1 desktop but this is probably
not necessary. (But it MUST use 3 1/2 880K diskettes -- after all it
is a 20 Mbyte drive!)
The Macintosh world has dozens of such programs. I haven't been able
to find single one for the GS, and I am getting very nervous.
Equipment: GS. 1 mbyte memory. Apple 20 Mbyte hard disk.

I've used Apple's "Backup II" successfully with a 5Mb ProFile and 3.5" backup media. I wouldn't call it terrific, but it worked okay.
