[comp.sys.mac] Backup to file?

hv@uwasa.fi (Harri Valkama LAKE) (06/20/90)

Is it possibly to do backup to a file? 

I think Retrospect is capable of doing it but I want to someone to 
confirm this. Why I need this is because I am planning to try network 
backups with the little help of Oscar.

RE:  can you backup to a file with retrospect?

Answer:  Yes.  It works.  I have done it to local and remote (appletalk) mac
disks.  ALso, I do it regularly to back up my mac to a unix disk (sun or
dec), which is connected via gatorbox to ethernet/nfs.  Works flawlessly
with latest software.  Unattended, incremental, good ui.  I recommend it
highly.
