hello again randy

i've tried a few back-up software packages: superduper! and  
silverkeeper… both seemed fine but where (apparently) lacking a  
feature, it seems.

this is what i plan on doing: i'll be backing up my pb to external  
firewire hd #1 on monday, then to external firewire hd #2 on tuesday,  
to #1 again on wednesday, to #2 on thursday and so on… the first back- 
up on each drive will be a complete back-up of my home folder, each  
succesive back-up will be of modified files only.

it seems superduper! doesn't do this. if a file has been modified on  
the source, it will replace this file also in the back-up. i would  
like to keep both… did i miss something?

regards and happy new year!
