Hi everyone


I'm looking for a good backup program. I'd prefer to get a tape drive,
but because I've got no free funds, I'm looking for backup programs that
work with diskettes.

Norton's backup looks real good. I've tried PC Tools 5.5, but it doesn't
work reliably. I need something that can detect a bad diskette while I
backup up, not when I'm restoring and the file can't be read. 

Can someone who's used this or other backup programs give me advice?

Thanks,
