I'm not trying to talk you out of getting a squeerer! However, if you want to
do a backup/delete/restore you'll find it faster to do it as a backup, logical
format and restore. And you should be able to automate that. Just out of
interest, are your finding that you are getting a lot of fragmented files? I've
been using my current HD without a restore for over 6 months right now (and I
do a lot of C development with lots of file editing) and I have less than a few
dozen fragmented files (most appear to be large files created by lha
extractions). These files can be easily de-fragmented by copying them. I wrote
an automatic program to do this on the coco some time ago. I started to fix it
for osk (handling 512 byte sectors mostly), but I don't think I ever finished
the conversion. Guess I should one of these days.
