- ABackup is a program which allows you to backup data from your hard disk. It
- can be used on any Amiga model, providing you have Kickstart V37 or higher,
- and at least 1 Mb of memory.
-
- ABackup has all the features you might expect from such a program:
-
- - Both full and selective backup and restore operations (you can select
- the files by name, by date, by protection bits, but also one by one)
-
- - Backup to floppy disks, to partitions (for example a SyQuest cartrige)
- or to an archive file. Optional data compression, data encryption,
- verification, and archive bit setting.
-
- - Restore to any directory, with or without restoring the original
- directory tree, and handling of already existing files. Optional date
- and empty directories restore.
-
- - Backup of non-AmigaDOS partitions (PC, Mac, UNIX, ...)
-
- - Optional report file for all operations
-
- - Full Intuition interface, AmigaGuide documentation.
-
- However, ABackup is not just one more backup program. This program also
- provides unusual features, like:
-
- - Transparent support of High Density floppy disks. Cyclic utilisation of
- several disks drives. Supports mixing of Double Density and High Density
- floppy disks. Transparent support of the "diskspare.device".
-
- - Asynchronous writes for maximal backup speed
-
- - Data compression can be performed by the "xpk.library" or an external
- program. Automatic exclusion of files already compressed.
-
- - Allows full operation automatization : you can, for example, start a
- backup just with a double-click over an icon.
-
- - Lots of controls, in order to avoid data loss due to handling errors.
-
- - Supports of the "MultiUserFileSystem" : access rights and owner are
- automatically backed up. When restoring files to a partition which is
- managed by this filesystem, theses informations will be automatically
- restored.
-
- This new version is offering full support for removable disk systems, like
- SyQuest, ZIP and Jaz units. This lets you use such systems as large floppy
- disks, so your backup will only require a very few removable disks instead
- of a huge pile of floppies. Of course, it will also be much faster.
