I'm also using FAT with OS/2... to use HPFS, I'd have to repartition my
hard drive and backup and restore everything.  Sounds like too much work.
I defrag once a week, booting to MS-DOS from a floppy.  While defragging
files is VERY fast and moves virtually nothing, defragging with full
optimization takes forever... like 45 minutes.  It used to take 20.  I
haven't really come to any conclusions on why this is; I guess OS/2 just
writes to the HD a lot.

Does CP Backup have support for tape drives?  I have a Colorado Jumbo 250
but I can't get the DOS or WINDOWS version of the software to work through
OS/2 at all; again I have to boot to MS-DOS via floppy.  Anyone have any
ideas on this?
