[NTLK] Re(2): Re(2): Backup Freeze Question

Good point.
I am trying this now.
Trying this, backing up to my computer, the backup proceeds quite fast
until the end at the "packages" part, then slows way way down almost to
a crawl but I don't think it froze, not sure. The progress lines on the
computer are still moving and on the Newton are too, ever so slooooly.
I'll let it run its course for 10 minutes more, although my gut feeling
is nothing's really happening. Using a hardwired serial connection.
Last time I did the same backup with less packages it flew through to
the end, but I'll wait this time (now with NewtToDo installed) a little
longer.
TIA, John
