hello matt,

i'm replying off-list because i'm writing from an email address that i
prefer not to use with public mailing lists.

your problem with ncu backups reminded me of my own problems using it for
backups -- i have never successfully made a backup with it, though i have
never tried a backup with anything other than a relatively large card in
use. it occurred to me that you might try what has always worked flawlessly
for me, if you haven't already: newton backup express. as far as i know, it
for macintosh only. where ncu has failed, it has always been rock-solid for
all of my backups, and they have restored flawlessly as well. i hope that
that might help with your card.

regards,

--robb
