My layered backup procedure is probably too complicated for most.
However, even the loss of a couple hours of work can be costly to recover,
so I backup as I go to a network attached drive. For system backups, I
use BA2K to tape or disk, but there are many other workable options.

You are doing something wrong. This method should work. The typical
invocation for cmd.exe is
xcopy /h /o /t /s /e /r /v x:\* y:\
where x:\ is the source volume and y: is the backup volume. For 4OS2,
it's
copy /b /h /s /e x:\* y:\
You need to do this while not booted from the source volume.

Zip/unzip is Ray's favorite method. It will work under the same
conditions as 4os2's copy and xcopy will work.
There's also the option of dfsee image backups.
