Greetings,

  I just got off the phone with the nice folks from LaCie.  I ordered their
105Mb external drive, and I'm now pondering the problem of backing the beast
up.  I plan to partition the drive, and only one or two of the partitions
should need to be backed up frequently, with the others being effectively
static, so backups to floppy _are_ an option.  Since this drive will be used
with a IIx (finally took the plunge :-), I'll have the option of backing up
to HD floppies.  So, now the question:

 I'd like to use Redux, since it seems to be one of the best backp utilities
around.  Does anyone have any experience using Redux with HD floppies?  I
don't have the IIx yet, so I haven't been able to do empirical testing.

Thanks in advance!
