Thanks to those who responded here and by mail. I got myself ZOO and ZOOX and was able to get everything backed up relatively easily. The documentation that comes with zoo, stuff (comes with zoo), and zoox had examples that made it easy enough for me to set up some batch files for full and incremental backups. For those who don't mind spending the money on PCTools, I'm sure you'll be happy with what you get; but if you're willing to put in a little bit of effort, you can do your backups with zoo quite easily. My C drive had 25,612,288 bytes on it and I was able to back it up on 14 1.2MB floppies (the 14th was hardly used at all) It would have taken 22 floppies without compression so I feel it was worth the effort. PKZIP probably would have done a slightly better job but I couldn't figure out how to make it do what ZOOX can do. Neil Feiereisel e-mail: fireman@uiuc.edu OR fireman@cs.uiuc.edu
