[comp.sys.mac.apps] Backup of a hard disk

tracy@cs.mcgill.ca (Tracy WEBER) (02/13/91)

Anybody out there has a pd shareware or freeware backup program for hard
disks? I've tried the 3 on sumex and wuarchive but they cannot backup:
in one case: an HFS hard disk?!?!?!?!
in the other two: a file bigger than what can go on a floppy.

Now what if i want to save an archive ( 10 Megs) on floppys?

Also are there any other hard disk tester other than scsi evaluator?
I need something that can test the transfer rate, the seek times and
(preferably) a test that transfer files and has an index in seconds (
not like speedometer comparison to an se with 40meg).

Please send email to: tracy@bart.cs.mcgill.ca

  Apple puts HD Backup on the Utilities 1 disk of System update disks.
Aside from lack of fancy features, does anyone find any problems with
this for stand-alone Macs?

HD Backup has been removed from the system disks (I believe as of 6.0.5)
and is incompatible with the operating system now.
