- Are you sure they haven't been put away (i.e., still on the drive, but
- not on the desktop)? I don't think Archiver backs up your Finder.Root
- files unless you tell it to in Preferences.

- Heh heh. :) Tip... Since application files never (or rarely) change,
- keep a separate backup on floppy (in addition to your originals, of
- course). That will save you a lot of disks swapping when you back up other
- files on your drive. I have about 19 megabytes of applications, plus
- another 30 or so in games. That's a lot of files I *don't* have to worry
- about during each backup.
