[G4] Disk First Aid, Diskwarrior Compatibility with OS 10.2.8

[Anne Keller-Smith]

Hi -

I started out with 10.1.x (don't quite remember which subversion) and 
of course have a Disk First Aid that came with the computer. Now it is 
on Jaguar - 10.2.8. I also have Diskwarrior 2.1.1 and have not used it 
lately (bad girl). A friend had a power outage and a big file 
disappeared, so obviously I need to update my stuff and he needs to 
update his stuff. He's also on Jaguar so our needs ought to be similar, 
except he is using an iMac and I have a 733mhz tower.

1. Will Disk First Aid work on later systems or should one upgrade this 
somehow?
2. Should I upgrade the Diskwarrior to version 3.1 or 3.3 or should I 
buy a new version altogether? The new version would seem to be bootable 
and that would be nice.
3. Any opinions on which utility/utilities/combination are better to 
have on board? (Norton, Techtool Pro, etc.) I plan to keep up with 
maintenance better from now on.

I have already slapped my friend with a wet noodle about not having a 
backup setup or a UPS.

Many thanks!
