I received several letters, which were quite helpful for me.
Many referred to Retrospect, and some to Redux 1.62 and DiskFit.

Anyway, my own final decision is to get Redux 1.62 which I'm
familiar with, and one person told me it can do #5.

Thank you all who sent the letters. I am not posting the letters
since I forgot to ask for authors' permission. Sorry about that.
