I've used Fastback and have limited experience with a few other
backup utilities.  I am quite happy with Fastback.  It is indeed
very fast and I have had do no problems with it.  Be WARNED that it
uses a non-standard disk format.  (This is one of the primary ways
it gains speed and gets more than 360k on a standard disk).  This
means that you must use Fastback to get back your files too.  You
cannot even catalog them without it.  But it is by far the fastest
backup utility I have used.
