I have found that version 3.3d of MRBackup on Fish Disk 270 has problems:
Can't handle files greater than 64K bytes if compression is off.
Sometimes compression goes wacko and fills up the floppy with garbage.
Crashes too often.
This is the response I got from the author:

Sorry you're just finding this, Joe. That problem is well known. I sent a
patch out over Usenet shortly after 3.3d appeared, but apparently you
missed it. MRBackup V3.3e just came out on the latest batch of Fish disks
and I sent V3.3f to Bob Page not long ago. If you can't wait and
would like me to email you a copy, just say the word.

The contents of Fish Disk #279 says it has MRBackup version 3.3e, which fixes
some serious bugs in version 3.3e which is ondisk #270.
Has anyone had better look with the newer version?
