I am considering buying the FASTBACK hard-disk backup program.

FASTBACK is supposedly very fast, and (because of an "Advanced Error
Correction" scheme) very reliable.  (At least, that's what the company's
own advertising says. :-})

Has anyone out there used FASTBACK?  If so, I would welcome any informed
comments (good or bad) regarding it.

Also, what other comparable disk backup packages are available for IBM's
and clones?
