Nasty little thing.
I built a billing system for a telephone company on them using Dbase II.
We had to keep 10 sets of backs. We each had our own and then on was left with the 
system.  We kept 10 because we would sometimes go through a lot of them before we 
could get a good restore.  We swore they had a built in "fry disk at random" command.
