I'm currently using Fastback II and am less than thrilled.  I guess that
getting all of your files in the proper folder on a full restore is good
enough on a PC, but on a Mac I'd really like to have the windows and files
in the right sizes and places.  I understand that SUM II's backup can do
a disk image backup so that after a restore everything is where you want it
to be.  Do any other backup pgms. do this?

P.S.  I'm quite pleased with other pgms. from 5th Generation but IMHO,
      Fastback II is better than Fastback I, but I don't think I'd call
      that a compliment. ;-)
