[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Looking for a third-party backup utility.

marr-leon@CS.Yale.EDU (Leon Marr) (07/27/88)

I'm looking for a replacement for the DOS backup utility, with which we've been
having some trouble with when backing up files that are too large to fit
on a single floppy (even a 1.2M HD floppy).  Has anyone got any recommendations
as to reliable and effective third-party backup utilities for such a situation?
Prices and addresses would be greatly appreciated also.  Replies by mail,
please.

Thanks in advance,

I've found a program called KeepTrack that works great for the above 
purpose.  It does the backups in standard DOS file format with directories
unlike BACKUP and will do incremental, branch, or whole disk backups and many
other combinations.  I have never run into a bug and it is about 3 times
faster than BACKUP and works with any floppies.

In addition it has many other file management display and movement 
functions incl. directory rename, etc... and it displays it all in
a neat and clear manner.
