I've had my fill of HFS Backup v3.0, and am looking for a replacement. 
Specifically, what gripes me about HFSB is :

1.  When backing up, you must put the floppy in the drive *it wants* (internal
or external).  This is insane on a volume-name based system.  

2.  If you put the floppy in the external drive, it ejects first time, every
time, and then accepts it the second time. Internal drive works OK.

3.  Problems with backup file sets (like not recognizing its own backup
directory on "Backup #1").

Anyway, I'm interested in a program that can :

1. Make full use of internal/external floppies, i.e. stick the disk in either
and it works.

2.  Has a good, graphical way to select files to be backed up, along with easy
file filtering.

3.  Overwrite or Archive "changes" in the backup volumes.

How about Diskfit?  I hear good things about that.

Any responses appreciated!  I'll post a summary if warranted.

My system:  MAC SE, System 6.0.2, Internal floppy/HD20, External Cutting Edge
800K floppy.

Thanks - Rich
