For very critical backups I run nortons Disk Test on all my floppies before
I start a back-up.  I also try to run CHKDSK too.  This is time consuming
but some of these files are pretty important.  

You might try fastback, I've never used it but it seems pretty comprehensive,
so it might do what you want.
