Good free backup utility for Mac SheepShaver disks
Posted: Sat Nov 16, 2013 11:49 pm
Free Backup was in its day one of the best-regarded backup programs for the Mac (OS 7.5-9.2). Over 50,000 downloads each at both Version Tracker and download.com. Large number of features. Rock-solid and fast.
It may find new life letting you back up files on your SheepShaver disk, either to another folder on that disk or to your Unix volume, such as your Documents folder on OSX.
