you can use zoomfloppy or xum1541 for backuping up. i have both, but i prefer zoomfloppy.

Thanks for the links!! I haven't looked YET, but assume these are solutions that run on current hardware? I don't have a USB or current solution 5.25" DRIVE but these types of methods might make things go by a lot quicker.
I've got some investigating to do... thanks for your tips!!
