[comp.sys.mac] Amusing backup story

roy@phri.nyu.edu (Roy Smith) (12/07/89)

	I once tried to use Apple's standard HD Backup with a ram disk
installed.  HDB tried to backup my entire hard disk to the ram disk.
Apparantly after the ram disk was full, it ejected it and waited for a new
disk to be inserted.  Since ejecting a ram disk is a no-op, it just
immediately started on the "next" disk.  It was a real pisser to watch.
Not very useful, but it certainly was fast!

	Now I use Sum II.  It's not bad, but I wish there was some way to
tell it *not* to back up certain folders.
