I have a Archive 2150 SCSI drive which I would like to use to backup the
sysem. I decided to reload the os/2 and use a hpfs. This means that
cpbackup is useless....

I wonder of Backmaster supports SCSI....  I find it strange that OS/2
dosn't come with real backup software. Any real OS has something (i.e.
BSD UNIX's backup/restore). I don't care if it is hard to use but
something....

What about useing gnu tar? Well I will try to download it tonight and
try it out.
