Before I go and trash my hard drive doing something I shouldn't
I thought I'd ask the world this question:

Can I (or should I) use PC Tools' hard disk backup to back up
either my FAT partition or my HPFS partition from the OS/2
DOS box?

Has anyone done this before?  Is it reliable?  If it is a bad
idea, what do people use for backups under OS/2?  Surely there's
got to be something better than the BACKUP command (which, from
my understanding doesn't do any data compression).

Todd.
