HARDBAC.ZIP Yes 48168 5/29/1989
HardBack is a hard-disk back-up program
designed specifically for backing up one hard
disk onto another hard disk (or similar
device, such as a Bernoulli drive). The idea
is that you could have two hard disks and use
one to backup the other. The advantages are
that this is much faster (as little as 30
seconds), more reliable and probably cheaper
than a tape backup and if your primary drive
crashes, you can run from the other hard
disk. (John Haugeland) (Reg.Fee: $25)
HDDINFO.ZIP Yes 81778 7/26/1993

it. HDTest writes 20 different test patterns
to every cluster on the disk and checks that
each pattern can be read back correctly,
while preserving the contents of the clusters
that already contain data. HDTest may also
detect errors which are minor enough to be
correctable by the disk controller's own
error-correcting code, but which may fortell
future problems. (Peter Richard Fletcher)

action, or simply run a program on a regular
schedule. Wildcards can be used for date file
specification. Backing up can be triggered or
prevented based on the size of the files
needing backup or matching any specified
filename pattern. There is a also a

LIFT2.ZIP Yes 6915 8/5/1992
Lift2 lists the 20 files on your hard disk
which were most currently recently accessed.
This utility is of little value if you use
Windows 3 regularly, since you can easily
have 20 files that get routinely updated by
Windows, such as the GRP files. Otherwise,
this is a very useful utility for spotting
new files that may have been created without
your knowledge, as well as keeping an eye on
files that may need backing up. (Cris Wragg)

back to the backup media. Files can be

bit, and other attributes. The program can
run mounting and dismounting programs if

SST_AH.ZIP Yes 27645 10/21/1986
SST-AH is a hard disk optimizer. SST ("Seek

many fragmented files and subdirectories. SST
will let you put them back together. While it
is faster than many other disk optimizers
such as DOG, it is also riskier to use. If
your computer were to lose power while SST is
working, you would have to restore all your
data from your backups. In testing, SST
worked on some machines that DOG would not
work on. Back up your hard disk first. Do not
use with disk space doublers or while Windows
is running. (Alfred J. Heyman) (Reg.Fee: $?)
