PCTools v6 contains PCBackup v6 which is equivalent to the most recent
versions of Fastback or Norton Backup.  (They all look amazingly
similar.)  I use PCBackup and it does the following: asks me if I want
to overwrite a previous backup if I try to reuse disks, will not let me
overwrite the current backup,  if an error occurs, redo the disk.
PCTools also includes programs for general file and directory maintance,
defragmentation, and some file and disk recovery.  Considering the whole
package costs as much as the other backup programs alone....
