Version 2.01. July 9, 1992.
Highlights/Changes With Version 2.00
1) EABACKUP and EARESTOR now run stand alone. They no longer require
EAUTIL.EXE.
3) Backup of EA's associated with "in-use" files is now allowed. This
eliminates the requirement of booting OS/2 from floppies to backup
system files' EA's. Restoring EA's to in-use files is still
prohibited.
4) Version 2.00 runs significantly (2-3 times) faster than Version
1.01 on both backups and restores.
5) Version 2 REQUIRES OS/2 2.0 to run. It will no longer run under
OS/2 version 1.x.
6) The /P= parameter has been eliminated.
7) New options /C and /X have been added for EARESTOR (see README.DOC
section III for more details).
8) EABACKUP and EARESTOR have been changed to backup and restore the
EA associated with the highest level backed up directory. Version
1.01 only backed up the EA's associated with files and directories
within and below this directory, not the EA associated with the
highest level directory itself. If the old behavior is preferred,
the restore of the highest level directory's EA may be suppressed
using the (new) /X parameter.
Note : The backup files produced by EABACKUP Version 1 can be restored
using Version 2.00 of EARESTOR. Backup files produced by Version 2.00
however, can not be successfully processed by EARESTOR Version 1.
Version 2.01 Update
Two problems were reported with version 2.00 after I uploaded it.
These are listed below. The problem involving loops and hangs when
backing up EA's on HPFS formatted drives has no workaround and will
prevent you from backing up your EA's. Both of the problems have been
fixed with version 2.01. If you have version 2.00 and you use HPFS or
anticipate using HPFS in the future you should download the new
release.
1) In version 2.00, EABACKUP will loop or hang up while backing up
EA's on HPFS formatted drives (FAT formatted drives don't exhibit
this problem). This problem is fixed in version 2.01.
2) In version 2.00, a protection exception will occur when backing up
to or restoring from removeable media (such as floppies) if the
destination (for EABACKUP) or source (for EARESTOR) path
specification just specifies a drive ID (as in "a:"). A workaround
for this problem is to specify a "\" as part of the path
specification (as in : "a:\"). This problem is fixed in Version
2.01.
