     Have you received any complaints about obackup not working.  I have attempted to try it out 5 times and it hits an error somewhere along around the 13-16 disk and just drops out.  It seems to be doing just find and before I know what happened I am history.  Do you know if there is a less buggy version around? 

[moved here from my messages to sysop area - can anyone help the gentleman?  - Emmitt]

That's two reports of bugs in OBackup.  Looks like the current version, at  
least, shouldn't be trusted.  The docs contain some information on contacting  
the author, but the methods mentioned were foreign to me.  I assume that the  
author is not from the US, but I really couldn't tell more than that.  Anyone  
know?
