Is it possible to test the integrity of the Backup operation, meaning,
how can I be sure that no hidden (or is it readonly?) files were straddling 
diskettes?  (If I understand the bug in Backup/3.0 correctly, this 
will cause a corrupt backup). 

I would like to reformat my hard disk then re-create it using Restore, but
obviously want to make sure that the restore is going to work before
doing the Format.
