I would buy PCTOOLS Version 6 just for the backup capability.  It is fast and
versatile.  The Desktop is a space waster both in disk space and memory.  The
DOS shell (PCShell) is okay and I use it, but there are better tools around.
The Diskfix utility is also nice for compressing disks.  There are also
utilities to recover files etc.

The PCBackup program is only about 200K disk space.
