Macxi,

Thank you for the list.  I will start to go through them later, probably
next weekend.

I have a couple of questions on your ratings though.

1) Why did you eliminate Drakbackup?

2) Why did you eliminate DAR?  I almost eliminated it from my current
backup solution do to its odd command line usage and options, but I
struggled through it until I understood them.  They are still a pain in
the ass, especially when you have to specify file names without the
".dar".

Thank you,

Jeff
