  We used Backpack for about 2 years on classics and one year on XL machines.
  We continued with their upgrade into Roadrunner and have been using it for a
  few years now.  VERY SOLID and FAST.  We love it.  Of course,  our exposure to
  other backup software is restricted to STORE (MPE),  tar (HP-UX),
  fbackup(HP-UX),  Arcserve (Novell),  and Palindrome (Novell).  I would say
  that it outperforms all these pieces of software in all important categories
  like speed,  compression,  reliability,  and RELEVANT features.
  Unfortunately,  I can't compare it to TurboStore.
 
  Roadrunner has a unique native interface which I rarely use.  I've been so
  used to the STORE/RESTORE syntax over the years,  that I simply run Roadrunner
  in a mode that accepts the old syntax.  On occasion,  I have had to use the
  new style in order to take advantage of some newer features.
 
 
  Vince.
