I've seen Redux 1.6 & Fastback II => => rlwald@phoenix.princeton.edu Don't know much about Redux, but I like FastBack II quite a lot. The only proplem with it is its feature about not removing previous version => backup sets grow to infinity. Keep an eye on DiskFit 2.0. They claim, from the update announcement, that they will support the selecting ability of FastBack II and still be able to overwrite old versions on backup. It will be tough making a decision. Please be aware that I am not criticizing the fact that Fastback II preserves old versions. It is just a personal preference based on the way I do my computing and backups. I can see where other would find it very useful. -- Jeffrey A.
