I am looking for a backup utility for Concurrent CP/M vers 4.1 and
up, that:

   Can use CP/M floppy disks,
   Backs up all files and user areas,
   Can handle multi-volumes, ie, split large files across volumes,
   Is device-independant, ie, isn't hardcoded for A: or whatever

The target machine is an LF Technologies Concurrent DOS box. LFT simply
expects ALL customers to use tape backup, which is not always a valid
assumption. And they no longer even sell the Concurrent DOS, and so are not
the slightest bit interested in floppy backup for it.

I could write one, but finding one that already works would be infinitely
preferable. PD, Shareware, commercial, whatever, are all acceptable.

Does anybody know of such a beast?
