	I know of one software program that I've used in its DOS &
Windows incarnations that I really think is great--its called "Novaback"
and its published by a company called Novasoft in the S.F. Valley 
outside L.A. (818 area code, if you want to call information).

	They make it for other platforms including Unix and I'm
quite sure they also have an OS/2 version.  I've never used it,
but if its anything like their DOS or Windows versions, I'm sure
you'll like it.
