Something else to consider is what happens if the backup is interupted.  I was
on disk number 85 with DiskFit when my Mac crashed (don't know whose fault it
was).  When I rebooted and restarted my backup, DiskFit asked me for disk 85 -
what a relief.  I also second the reasons other people have praised DiskFit:
	standard file format - for safer backup (more ways to restore data)
	convenient incremental backup - it reuses floppies and only asks for
		the necessary disks.  Some backup programs just add more
		disks, and apparently Redux requests all disks.
