Hello netters,

I need an archiving package that has/does the following:

1. Incremental backups (i.e., I can backup only the files that have
changed over the last week, etc.)

2. Allows deleting of files from an archive.  I know, it sounds stupid,
but I have two hard drives (one 80 and one 160 meg) and need to delete 
the files from the archive once they have been ruled useless.

3. A nice user interface.  This is for my mom, and she doesn't want
or need to know how the thing works, just that it does work.

I have looked and used Retrospect, but it doesn't delete files from
an archive.  Can anyone out there tell me about a package that fufills
these requirements or any portion of them???

In desparation,
