I used Tri-Backup for a while back in the days of OS 9, and stopped for that
very reason - I discovered (fortunately before losing them) that many files
weren't getting backed up, even though I had no settings that limited or
filtered my backups. I don't trust that program, and never will again. A
backup program _has_ to be impeccable in what it copies.
