What backup program?

I recently found a couple of old backup diskettes I made in the 90's and would like to restore the data from them. I do not remember which backup program I used but the disks turns up as B001, B002 etc.
I have tried using Quarterback but it couldn't read them.
Anyone here that can help me out?

Have you tried abackup. The other would be Diavolo to give a try. You can get abackup from aminet diavolo is on the eab server.

Tried HDBackup, Quarterback and ABackup. Did'nt work. Diavolo left to try.
I had subscription on Fred Fish disks back then. Were there any backup programs on them maybe? Any suggestions?
I'm beginning to suspect me having Alzheimers or something... But it was so many years ago and I havent used the Amiga since the mid-late 90's

If Diavolo doesn't work, maybe you could make .adf images of the disks and upload them to The Zone for us to have a look at.

If you don't wish to share the disks' content, then just truncate the disk images each to 11264 bytes (first two tracks). That should be enough to identify the backup program.

Found it!

After have tried all programs mentioned above I downloaded all Fred Fish disks and found a program named Sectorama. That program could read raw data from my backup floppies and hidden in that data I found the name of the backup program I used back in -94: Superback. Found it downloadable and restored my old data!
What a nice Christmas present it was!

Thanks for all the help here!
