Entry 26th December 2019: Post 02: Amiga - QuarterBack Tools.


Amiga - QuarterBack Tools.

QuarterBack was promoted in the day as the fastest hard disk backup
utility. The software backs up 20MB in twenty minutes or less. So
around one megabyte a minute. Personally I never saw the point in
truth. I have backups from other users and if you don't have the
software and or know the order they were created you really are
stuffed. I mean, just make a full copy already. The issue was drive
sizes and who has that many floppy disks lying around. Also if one
of the disks fail the whole set is stuffed. I always amused at the
comment to test the backup.... like how? Life is way too short.

For me you can't beat another hard drive on another machine and
Parnet connected. Or just get a Squirrel and a ZIP drive. Also
here is a little bit of useful info. Just copy your drive to
another volume on the same Amiga. I do this with my WB drive and
then if I have a problem I just copy it back. Even if the WB falls
over you can boot off your install floppy and gain access to the 
copy on the other drive.
