No information, but a big wish on this one.  I *wish* that the new version
will use some sort of compression scheme so that my 100M backups don't take
up 120 disks!!!  Through experience the program was obviously designed
around a small hard disk (40-60M).  I have run into such things as file
counters overflowing, disk counters overflowing, and being forced to read in
my entire hard drive directory when I only want to backup a portion of it.
The good thing is that it still works, despite giving wrong information and
it is *fast* (100M in 3 hrs).

BTW, I haven't received notification of update either but I'm running
version 3.2.
