I have an 8MHz AT clone and will be purchasing a fast 30 meg. hard disk RSN.
I am currently a very satisfied Bernoulli Box user, but I don't need the extra
advantages, so I'm selling it.

Anyway, I was all set to plunk down the $180 for FASTBACK to enable me to back
up the hard disk to floppy and save the money a tape drive would cost.  The
ads for FASTBACK imply that their program on 1.2 M floppies and an AT is just
as fast as and over $1K cheaper than a tape drive.

Then I saw an ad for DS BACKUP, which is not copy protected, sells for $70, and
claims to have all the features of FASTBACk and is easier to use.

Does anyone on the net use either of these two programs?  I'd be very
interested in a mini-review.  Post or mail, your choice.

Thanks!
