filetool.lst defaults to a USB "jump" drive (memory stick type "drive") and if none is present, saves to the floppy drive (fd0) unless you specify another backup device in "dsl panel".
A common mistake, one that I made initially, was the one where I change the file on the ramdrive. Doh!
You backup to disk once, then change it on disk. One really handy thing that filetool.lst can be used for is making application settings such as bookmarks and data files, permanent.
for instance, emelFM can have it's settings saved by including the following line in filetool.lst:
/home/damnsmall/.emelfm
Likewise, dillo:
/home/damnsmall/.dillo
One snag I came up against: sylpheed won't write email to ramdisk unless the /home/damnsmall/Mail directory already exists with the *proper* files in it. Create all of your emal accounts and settings *then* back up the following directories:
/home/damnsmall/Mail
/home/damnsmall/.sylpheed
Even so, sylpheed can be a bit finicky about what it likes and dosen't in the restore process.
