How shall I do backups?

[ciphergoth]

OK, I've used DAR long enough to know that it's fundamentally broken. I just gave up on it at the point where I'd written CD 1 of a two CD archive, and said "please test the integrity of this slice of the archive". It responded "last slice is not present, please provide before integrity can be tested".

So I'm not using that any more.

What the hell can I use that does proper multi-archive backups for CDs?

I'll write up my thoughts on what I think the ideal backup utility would look like at some point but I tend to think that while it can be nice to write to authors to say "here, your program can be improved like this", there's not a lot of point in saying "your program has a mistake at the very deepest level of its design" because there's not a lot they can do about it...

Still I will write it and send it to you. Once I've got speech recognition going. Once I've reinstalled windows. Once I've backed up the laptop... you see my problem...

DAR is still the best there is - if I want something better, me and meta will just have to write it! :-)
