Svobi,

There is an old saying, at least older than ANY version of OS/2,

If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

Just because RoboSave doesn't have a recent date doesn't mean it doesn't
work. How old is the OS/2 Archive backup methodology???

Just like you need to edit the OS2.KEY file to add files necessary for
your particular system, the RoboSave profile must be modified with the
same information to make it a viable WPS backup method. You have to know
AND SPECIFY what you need to back up with either method or else the
backup will be useless.

I, too, have used RoboSave for years and it has bailed me out on more
than on occasion.
