Stomp is wonderful. Stomp is not stomp, stomp is really veritas(which was seagate).

Seagate got out of the software business because companies were selling crummy tape backup systems, and then suing seagate for failures.

Veritas got out, I think, so it could go after the big guys, and since there is very little difference between the basic little guy, and big guy, they somehow set up this dopy Stomp name to avoid the price complaint problem.(Stomp 2005 is about $50, and probably less if one shops, while Veritas for really important people can run $5000).

The Veritas logo is still on my v4.85 from 2003.

Very fast, and runs on lots of windows platforms.
