Re: Flopticals and Prosel 16

In Article #71736, fadden@uts.amdahl.com (Andy McFadden) pounced out on
his keyboard:

: I backed up my HD file-by-file (onto flopticals, just copying files), then
: repartitioned it into 20MB pieces (20256 blocks each) with the RamFAST
: utilities.  Then I copied everything back on.

Andy, wouldn't it have been easier just to use Archiver and tell it to
back up to disks?  Also, you could compress the volume data, which would
lessen the number of disks you need!  Why repartition your hard drive when
you don't have to?  Archiver makes it so easy to backup to multiple disks
(no matter what size they are).

I only backup my main 14 meg partition to the floptical, but what I just
said is, at least in my opinion, much easier (and less troublesome) than
what you did :)

l8r!
