  If you are just doing floppy backups, you might want to check out a
shareware program called Rapid-Up. It is fast, floppy-only and
includes options for excluding system files, the system folder,
applications files and invisible files (and any combination of the
above) from its backup sets.
  $29 shareware fee. Available on CompuServe, and probably GEnie,
though I'm not sure where else.
  Uses an interesting sharware incentive -- the backup program is free
and fuly documented. You want the restore program? Pay the shareware
fee.
