The backup is nice, except that it adds files to a previous
backup if they are new, replaces old files if new ones exist of
the same name, but will not erase old files or duplicate files if
the new one has a different name. I back up once, use the
incremental backup for a while, then (if my backup card gets too
full) erase the entire backup (on a PC to avoid the warnings
about erasing KeyList or KeyBase files and databases and such)
and make a new backup, at which point the process begins again.
It works very well, and even the not erasing files that no longer
exist has saved me a few times when I erased a file I later found
I needed. HTH.
Have a great day,
Alex

Subject: [Braillenote] Backup utility?
Hi again all,
Well, I got curious after this morning's discussion, so decided
to read
about the Backup utility in the user manual. It looks like a
nice
little utility that would take care of data loss issues rather
easily.
What are people's experiences with this utility? Also, how long
does a
typical--if there is such a thing--full backup take?
Best,
Donna
