Subject: Concurrent DOS backup utility??

I am looking for a backup utility for Concurrent CP/M vers 4.1 and
up, that:
Can use CP/M floppy disks,
Backs up all files and user areas,
Can handle multi-volumes, ie, split large files across volumes,
Is device-independant, ie, isn't hardcoded for A: or whatever
The target machine is an LF Technologies Concurrent DOS box. LFT simply
expects ALL customers to use tape backup, which is not always a valid
assumption. And they no longer even sell the Concurrent DOS, and so are not
the slightest bit interested in floppy backup for it.
I could write one, but finding one that already works would be infinitely
preferable. PD, Shareware, commercial, whatever, are all acceptable.
Does anybody know of such a beast?

If you get in touch with George Markle at MCC in Mountain View (among other things MCC is the CompuPro System Center there so they should be listed) He can get you a copy of FILE*WORKS, which does exactly the things you want to do. I assume your machine is capable of importing the usual media types? J.R. -- "To prevent having to tell fools to RTFM don't let on you WTFM to begin with." J.R.
