Hello everbody
Regarding Robosave I noticed that it is very old with its dates of 1993
/ 95 !!!

Since with Warp 4 the folder and file structurese have changed heavily
=2E..
=2E.. does Robosave adjust to these new placements of system files ???

What's your experiences ??
Thanks in advance for your hints and suggestions.

Regards, svobi

RoboSave works pretty well. It's comparable to what Unimaint does. =

Both
have the benefit of being very reliable when it come time to do a
restore.

It's not that the builtin archive is all that unreliable in itself. =

It's
more that same folks that depend on it don't do regular desktop cleanup
and don't have alternate forms of backup. When they need to recover,
they
often find that none of the 3 stored archives have valid content. They
just assumed it would work when they needed it.

I've always claimed that having working backups is one of the better
ways
to ensure you will not need them. There's something about thinking
through the issues of ensuring that a backup will actuall restore that
convinces one that regular system maintenance is a cheap form of
minimizing the need to use the backup.
