You misunderstand. When I am talking about applications to choose from, I
am implying ALL of them work, and I am deciding which I like better and which
has the features I like.
NONE of the OS/2 programs (all 6 or 7 of them) *DID* *NOT* *WORK*
They are *NOT* choices.
Under Win95, the first one was a Colorado specific application. It obviously
did not work on an exabyte drive. However, Arcada and NovaBack DID work, 
here
are TWO possible choices available to me.
I am NOT biased. The simple fact is that OS2 offered me little choices, as
the software was very poor and did not support many drives, even though there
were a lot of programs to try. I would have to buy NovaBack/2 or Arcada/2 on
the assumption that they supported the same number of drives as their Windows
equivalents.
