Hi

> I never tried the hdbackup-program from Amiga OS. Can anybody recommend that?

Back that days where HD's where 40MB or less, I used Quarterback to make backups to floppy disks, and that was a fine backup-tool for that purpose (I still own very old backups from my A1000 and A2000 :-)).
After I got my A3000T, I switched to Diavolo-Backup and still using it.
It works very fine in conjunction with my Wang 1GB SCSI-streamer (bought at eBay for a few Euros). It contains a sheduler for automatic backups (e.g. weekly complete backup, dayly incremental backup).

You could still buy it e.g. http://www.vesalia.de, but it is expensive (63,92 EUR + postage), at the other side it is the best backup-tool I've ever seen.
