	Well, thanks to everyone who responded to my call for advice on 
backup software.  There seem to be several schools of thought here: those 
with big (>100MB) disks, who back up to 45MB removable HDs, seem to like 
FastBack; those with several files of the same type that they back up each 
{month|week|day}, or who backup to tape, seem to like Retrospect; those 
with small (<100MB) disks, with general backup needs, seem to like Redux.

	I have a 45MB removable drive, and I'll only be backing up to 
floppies.  So, I'm getting Redux.  Thanks to all for your help - I'd list 
you all by name, but there were about 30 of you!  wow...

John
