(or freeish, ie PD/ FTP'able) Golly, Mr. Wizard! The 3000 comes with HDBackup. It'll back up to floppy or tape. I've not used it yet, but there it is. And it came with your machine. Of course, if you have an _early_ 3000, there's a backup utility called BRU, which is a port from a Unix backup program. I've not used it yet, either. On my 2500/30, I use QuarterBack, but it's not free, and I've not tried it under 2.0, so there may be an incompatibility there. .--------------------------------------------------------------------------. |[- O] Rick Stevens | | ?
