I'm in need of a good backup utility to make it as little pain as possible
to back up 80M to a single floppy drive.  I used an old version of MR Backup
once, but mostly I've been feeling lucky & not doing backups :^(

I've got millions of $ to spend on a commercial program, but would
be more than happy to use a PD or shareware one if it were as good
or better than the commercial ones.

I've been meaning to get a copy of the latest version of MR Backup
and use it, but maybe this is a good time to call for recommendations
via e-mail & post a summary if warranted.  How do MR Backup,
Turbobackup, Quarterback, Saf-T-Net & anything else compare?

If turbobackup is as good as MR Backup & either is as fast as any good
(reliable & flexible) commercial one, I'll settle on that as my
backup utility with much appreciation to the author(s).
