PZArchive Bit
One of four attributes DOS stores for each file. When a file is changed
or created, DOS turns the archive bit ON.
All Supplemental backup methods of CPBACKUP select only files whose
archive bit is ON. The Full and two Incremental backup methods
turn the bit OFF to show the files have been backed up.
A SCSI host adapter driver, developed by Adaptec, that allows multiple
types of SCSI devices (such as hard drives, tapes, CD-ROM drives) to be
placed on one SCSI host adapter.
Attribute
DOS recognizes four attributes or properties that a file can have:
Hidden, System, Archive, and Read-Only.
Backup Methods
CPBACKUP supports the following types of backups:
Full/Append to Tape, Full/Erase Tape, Full Backup,
Full Copy, Incremental, Separate Incremental, and
Differential.
Backup NLM/VAP
The CPBACKUP NLM (NetWare Loadable Module) and VAP products (Value-
Added Process) allow CPBACKUP to access remote tape drives.
Catalog File
A special directory file that is written when using SCSI or remote
tapes. These files have a .CAT extension. A .CAT, .DIR, and a .VTC file
are all needed to restore any SCSI backup.
CPS Format
A proprietary format used by CPBACKUP. On floppy disks, this format
increases the amount of data that a disk can contain. DOS cannot
recognize disks in this format. On tapes, it allows compression of data
as well as the ability to pause and resume the backup.
Direct memory access.  This feature is provided by hardware built in
the computer.  DMA speeds the flow of data without tying up the central
processor unit (CPU).
DOS-Compatible
Refers to a peripheral device that can be accessed by DOS and is
assigned an identifying letter (A-Z).
DOS Wildcard
A special character you can use to represent other characters.  DOS
recognizes two wildcards:  the * (asterisk) which represents more than
one character and the ? (question mark) which represents a single
character.
Environment variable
Specifies Backup's "home" directory where it looks for settings files,
creates temporary files, etc.  You can examine the environment variable
by typing SET at the DOS prompt.
History File
A file associated with a backup set that contains a list of which files
were backed up, when they were backed up, and the type of backup that
was performed.  The history file is always written to the backup media,
and if the Save History command is on, to the hard disk as well.
A signal line that, when activated, causes an interrupt request to be
generated.  Backup uses the standard IRQ for floppy backups, but
certain tape controller cards use a different signal that must be
specified before Backup recognizes it.
QIC Format
A popular tape standard that utilizes the Quarter-Inch cartridge tape
drives. QIC-formatted tapes can be freely exchanged with other QIC-
format backup programs.
Remote Tape Drives
Tape devices attached to a network file server that can be accessed
from a workstation.  Note: The file server must be installed with the
Central Point server-based software (not part of DOS).
Standard Format
Although not as space efficient as CPS format, Standard format allows
disks to be read by DOS.
Tape Adapter Card
A card that connects between the primary floppy disk controller and the
floppy and tape drives.
Tape Controller Card
A peripheral card that connects a tape drive to the computer's main
logic board.
About CPBACKUP
PZCPBACKUP lets you copy and compress data from your computer's hard
disk(s) onto floppy disks, tape, or any DOS device.
  Compare files on your hard disk with those in a backup set.
  Restore data from backups done with the Windows version of
 Backup and vice versa.
  Use a special QView function to display the contents of a
 file in its native format.
  Save your CPBACKUP settings in a setup file, which you can
 call up at any time.
  Schedule backups to occur automatically at specified times.

The horizontal menu bar at the top of the window lists commands you can
use to display pull-down menus. These menus provide all the commands
available in CPBACKUP. The Action menu will have different commands
depending on whether you are in backup, compare, or restore
mode. The Options menu also varies depending on the current
User Level. The Tape Tools menu only appears if you have used
Define Equipment to configure a tape drive.
To exit from the main menu without choosing a command, press ESC or
TAB, or click outside of the menu.

commands. All the current selections are saved when these commands are
invoked.
CPBACKUP provides the following default setup files:
DAILY.SET
 Backs up only those files that have changed since the
 last full backup
DATABASE.SET   Backs up *.DB, *.DBF, *.NDX, *.IDX, *.PX, *.RBF, *.DTF
 files
SPREAD.SET
 Backs up*.XL*, *.WK*, *.CAL, .WQ* files
WEEKLY.SET
 Does a complete backup of all the files on the first
 hard drive of your computer system, which is usually
 drive C. This preconfigured file also exits from
 CPBackup when it has completed the backup.

appears in the Setup: file list and the Load Setup dialog box.
Save File Selections
Allows you to store manual file selections so they are backed up each
time, regardless of their archive status. (In most cases you should not
select this option since your Include/Exclude Filelist is always
stored as part of your setup.)
If you have configured your Novell network drives as Server\Volumes,
the setup file can store selections from a maximum of 10 different
server\volumes.

than Minimize Space Maximum, it can back up data significantly faster
than the maximum compression option.
Minimize Space-Maximum: Provides the maximum amount of compression of
your data, but requires more time than the Moderate compression option.

Level 2
 A more complex encryption scheme that uses a key.
Level 3
 A thorough encryption scheme that slows down total
 backup or restore time significantly. Uses a key.
Encryption Key Case sensitive and 6 to 8 characters in length.
If an encryption key is used, CPBACKUP saves it as the default.  You
can then perform backups and restores on your machine without re-
entering the key.  The key is required only when the data is restored
on another machine or if you change the default key.

Include/Exclude Files command
PZInclude/Exclude Files enables you to have CPBACKUP select files based
on file specifications. You can enter 16 lines of specifications. Each
line supports multiple specifications, up to a maximum of 64 characters
per line. All lines cannot contain more than 100 file specifications
total. The DOS wildcard characters, * and ?, are supported.
The default entry is *.*, which includes all files on ALL selected
drives. To exclude files, begin the entry with a minus sign (-).  See
the Include/Exclude examples page for more details.
Check the box next to each line (or select the Subdir button) to have
the selection specification apply to subdirectories contained in the
specification.
Select Check for Path existence and log drives to have CPBACKUP confirm
that your entries are valid paths and to log the drives specified by
your entries.  CPBACKUP only checks the paths of entries beginning with
a drive letter.  If the path is not valid, an error message with the
invalid entry number is displayed.
   NOTE:
 CPBACKUP clears this checkbox whenever you restart
 CPBACKUP, even if you save your setup and configuration.
Select Clear List to remove all entries and begin again.

Include/Exclude examples
PZThe Include/Exclude Files command is a very powerful command. With
simple wildcards, you can specify a wide variety of files and
directories to include or exclude in a backup or restore. Here are some
ground rules:
   1. To Include a filespec, simply type it starting at the left
 margin.
   2. To Exclude a filespec, begin the entry with a minus, "-", sign.
   3. Filespecs affect all selected drives in
 Multiple drive backups, unless the filespec is preceded by a
 drive letter.
   4. The Manual Subdirectory Inclusion command affects what is
 selected. If it is on, the filespec applies to all
 subdirectories of specified directories. If it is off, only
 files in the specified directory are affected.
   5. CPBACKUP processes all specifications on each line before going
 to the next line. If you Include a filespec on the top line, you
 can Exclude a subset later, or vice versa. See the example
 below.
The following examples assume Manual Subdirectory Inclusion is on. If
it is off, filespecs only apply to specific directories. Multiple
specifications per line must be separated by a comma or space.
ENTRY
 MEANING
*.* -\*.* -*.COM
 Include all files, all drives, but exclude all
 files in the root directories and exclude all
 files with .COM extensions
-*.EXE
 Exclude all files with .EXE extension in all
 directories, all drives.
D:*.EXE
 Include .EXE files only on drive D.
If these 3 lines were in one list, they would mean that all files in
the root directories of all selected drives will NOT be backed up; and
all  .COM and .EXE files of all selected drives will NOT be backed up,
EXCEPT the .EXE files of drive D: will be backed up. Here's another:
ENTRY
 MEANING
\TYPING\*.TXT
     Include all .TXT files in the TYPING directory,
 all drives and subdirectories.
\TYPING\*.OLD
     Include all .OLD files in the TYPING directory,
 all drives and subdirectories.
\SPREADS\*.WRK
 Include all .WRK files in the SPREADS directory,
 all drives and subdirectories.
D:\DATA\*.*
 Include all files in the DATA directory and its
 subdirectories of drive D: only.
Remember, Manual Subdirectory Inclusion and Multiple-drive backups
affect what is selected. Choose OK when you are done and use the
File menu to save your choices as the default or in a setup file.

)  CPS Tape Format
 ( )  QIC Compatible Format
CPS Tape Format: Use this option if you have used previous versions of
CPBACKUP and want your tapes to be compatible. This is especially
important if you are transferring data between computers with different
versions of CPBACKUP. CPS Tape Format also supports the incremental
backup method.
QIC Compatible Format: This option reads and writes using the standard
QIC format and compression technique. This allows you to freely
interchange tapes between CPBACKUP and other backup programs that also
use this standard.

Fixed Drive and Path option
PZUse the Fixed Drive (and Path) option if you will be backing up to or
restoring/comparing from:
  a separate hard disk (such as a network drive), or
  a partition of your hard disk, or
  any other storage drive that does not have removable media.
CPBACKUP uses the Low Backup Speed option when backing up to Fixed
or Removable Drive and Path selections.
   NOTE:  CPBACKUP cannot format a "Fixed drive", so the drive media
 must be formatted before CPBACKUP can back up to it.

your backup set are verified. That way, CPBACKUP does not attempt to
store data on defective sectors.
   NOTE:  This option does not verify areas that have been formatted
 before, so "new" defects could still pass undetected.
If you are using unformatted tapes, this option also certifies the tape
which checks the formatting for accuracy and locks out bad blocks.

Floppy Format options
PZCPBACKUP supports two different formats when backing up to floppy
drives A or B.
 ( )  CPS Floppy Format
)  DOS Standard Format
  CPS Floppy Format: This is a proprietary format that writes one
 extra sector of data per track to your floppy disks. You can use
 CPBDIR to get information about the disks.
  DOS Standard Format: This formats and writes to disk in the same
 way DOS does, so the disks are fully DOS compatible. The
 advantage is that all your backup disks are easily readable by
 DOS. If you want to use your backup disk for normal data disks
 you won't need to reformat them.
If you have preformatted disks, use the Standard format option so
CPBACKUP will not reformat the disks during the backup.
Format Always (Options menu)
Media Format (Options menu)
Low Backup Speed option
PZUse Low Speed (DOS compatible) to back up your files to any "DOS
compatible" device. Use low speed:
  If you are backing up to drive A or B and need to restore to a
 different system using a floppy drive OTHER THAN A or B. This is
 because low speed is only available to drives other than A and
 B, AND high or medium speed backups cannot be restored at low
 speed.
  On some computers that are not 100% IBM compatible.
   NOTE:  CPBACKUP uses Low Speed for backups to a Fixed Drive or
 Removable Drive. Do not select Removable Drive if you are
 backing up to drives A or B. CPBACKUP assumes drives A or B
 are floppy drives, and formats them accordingly.

Directory (Tape Tools menu)
PZThis display shows the backup sets and the available space on the tape.
On FDC-QIC tapes, CPBACKUP obtains this information by scanning the
tape.  On SCSI tapes, CPBACKUP determines this information by reading
the .VTC file on your hard disk (if a VTC file is present).
Catalog
CPBACKUP provides a Catalog button when you display the directory of a
SCSI tape.  This option allows you to update the *.VTC file on your
hard disk so that it reflects the actual contents of the SCSI tape.
(The VTC file on your hard disk can become out-of-date if another
person adds a new backup set to the tape.) When you select Catalog,
CPBACKUP reads the last VTC file from the SCSI tape, and writes its
contents to the hard disk.

PZDisplays format-related information about the tape such as the name of
the tape, when it was formatted, how much space is free, and what

Quick Erase (Tape Tools menu)
PZQuick Erase deletes the tape catalog so that CPBACKUP treats the
tape as formatted but empty.  Although a Quick Erase does not actually
remove the backup data from the tape, CPBACKUP has no way of retrieving
the data.
Secure Erase (Tape Tools menu)
PZSecure Erase eradicates any backup data on the tape by overwriting it
with ones and zeros.  Although this process requires more time than a
Quick Erase, it ensures that the data is actually removed from the
tape.
Format (Tape Tools menu)
PZFormat prepares a tape for use with CPBACKUP by determining the number
of usable blocks, blocks per track, bad blocks and other
characteristics about the tape.  Formatting destroys any backup data on
the tape.
   NOTE   SCSI tapes are pre-formatted so this command is unavailable
 when a SCSI tape is used.
Retension (Tape Tools menu)
PZTo function optimally, tape media needs to have uniform tension.
Retension rewinds the tape and sets the tension correctly. This process
may take a few minutes, depending on the length of the tape.

Restoring Data
PZRestoring is the process of returning data from the backup media to
your hard drive. CPBACKUP can restore an entire hard disk or just
selected directories and files.
  Both DOS and CPBACKUP must be installed on the hard drive.
  Restore using the same backup speed used for the original
 backup. Use CPBDIR if necessary. Removable Drive and
 Fixed Drive backups are always Low speed.
  When restoring multiple sets of Supplemental and Full
 backups, restore the most recent set first. To restore the most
 recent files only, use Overwrite Warning and choose
 Overwrite with Newer files only and Repeat for all later files
 when the File Exists dialog box appears. Restoring
 Incremental backups takes care of this automatically.
  The drive light normally stays on during a High or
 Medium speed backup or restore. You will not damage your
 disks by inserting or removing them when prompted.

Rebuilding History Files
PZThe History file for a backup set is normally found on the backup
media.  An identical history file will also be on the hard disk itself
if Save History was enabled at the time of the backup (the
default).
If your backup set's history file is missing, you must rebuild it
before you can restore or compare.
   NOTE:  You cannot rebuild a tape directory, so it is recommended
 that you always use the Save History option, especially
 with tape backups.
To rebuild a history file:
   1. Make sure your drive and media settings match the location
 of your backup set. If this setting is wrong, CPBACKUP cannot
 find the history file or the backup data to rebuild it.
   2. Select Choose directories from the Action menu or
 Retrieve Hist from the Express Restore or Compare windows.
   3. If the Choose Directory dialog box appears, press I for the
 Insert button. The Insert Last Disk dialog box appears. DO
 NOT INSERT THE LAST DISK! You are rebuilding because the last
 disk is missing, damaged, or the history is corrupt and you do
 not want CPBACKUP to read it. Insert the first disk you want to
 rebuild.
   4. An Error dialog box appears saying CPBACKUP could not find the
 history (directory) file. Press B for Rebuild.
   5. CPBACKUP prompts to insert disk number 1 of the set.
 Normally, you will start with disk 1, and proceed sequentially
 with the disks you have. However, CPBACKUP can rebuild any
 single disk or set of disks you may have.

   8. Continue inserting disks when you are prompted. When you are
 done with the last disk you wish to rebuild, select Done from
 the Insert Next Disk dialog box.
   9. When the Save Rebuilt Directory dialog box appears, select

   s  The date/time stamp of the CPBACKUP file was different than that
 of the hard disk file, but the files matched.
   <  The backup file was older than the hard disk file and the files
 did not match.
   >  The backup file was newer than the hard disk file and the files
 did not match.

Full backup methods
PZChoose one of the following full backup methods to back up ALL files.
Note that any choices made manually and/or with Selection Options
affect which files are selected.
Full: This is CPBACKUP's default backup setting. It selects ALL files
and resets the archive bit for each file at the end of the backup.
This method is ALWAYS used if you save file selections using the
Save File Selections option in the Save Setup dialog box.
Full Copy: This selects ALL files but does NOT reset the archive bit
for each file.
   Note:  Full/Append to Tape and Full/Erase Tape backup methods are
 special forms of a Full backup that affect where data is
 written to the tape. The former begins the backup immediately
 following the last backup on the tape. The latter begins the
 backup at the beginning of the tape, overwriting all other
 information on the tape.

Supplemental backup methods
PZChoose one of the following backup methods to back up only files that
have changed or been added (have the archive bit set) since your
last backup. Any choices made manually and/or with
Selection Options also affect which files are selected.
  Incremental: appends the data and history file of the
 incremental to that of a previous backup (usually a Full), and
 resets the archive bit for each file at the end of the backup.
 When you start an incremental backup, CPBACKUP may prompt to
 Insert Last Disk (tape) to find the previous history to
 append to. Not available for Low speed backups, QIC-
 formatted tapes, or when backing up to a Fixed or
 Removable Drive.
  Separate Incremental: creates a NEW backup set and reset archive
 bits for the files.
  Differential: creates a new backup set but does NOT reset the
 archive bit for each file.

PZWhen you start a "backup" using the Virus Scan Only backup method,
CPBACKUP scans all selected files for hundreds of known viruses. But
unlike using the Virus Detection command, it stops at the end of
the scan without backing up any files.
If CPBACKUP detects a virus, it displays the Infected Files dialog
box which gives you an option to rename the file. If you choose to
rename a suspected file, CPBACKUP will also exclude that file from any
backup during the current session. Renamed files are NOT excluded from
future backups automatically.

  Backup History file (SCSI) = .VTC
The names of the first four are in the format XYYMMDDA where:
 X   = letter of the drive backed up (C-Z).
YY   = last two digits of the current year.
MM   = current month (01 to 12)
DD   = current day (01 to 31)

Note the following about a two drive backup:
  You only need to choose one drive (the first) and media type.
  It only works with drives A and B using High speed or
 Medium speed. It does not work with Low speed backups.
  It works in backup mode only. Restores work with only one drive.

High Or Medium Backup Speed options
PZHigh Speed and Medium Speed backups use the DMA (Direct Memory Access)
controller found in most PCs to free up processing time and make the
backup faster. These options are much faster than Low Speed, but
only work with drives A, B, and supported tape drives.
  High Speed: Simultaneously reads from your hard disk and writes
 to the floppy disk or tape for the fastest possible backup.
  Medium Speed: Does not read and write simultaneously. This works
 with computers that are incapable of simultaneous DMA transfers.
 Use this speed if you encounter problems with high speed.
Backups done at high or medium speed cannot be restored using
low speed or to a Removable Drive and path.
   NOTE:  It is normal for the drive light to stay on continuously
 during high or medium speed backups. You will not damage your
 disks by changing them when you are prompted to do so.

You should perform a test anytime your hardware configuration changes.
Because the confidence test only tests the drive and media you
selected, you should also run a test if you change the drive or media
you use for backing up. (Your maximum backup speed can vary depending
on the media.)
If you are backing up to a tape device connected to the network server,
a confidence test is not needed.

Wildcards
PZMany times when specifying a file name and/or extension, you can use

extension .DOC, enter *.DOC as the filespec. To indicate all files with
names beginning with T and any extension, enter T*.* as the filespec.
Notice that the asterisk (or "star") wildcard replaces all characters
from its position to the end of the file name or extension, so only use
it at the end of a file name or extension. The file name *TAX indicates

Using Backup for the First Time
PZThe first time you run CPBACKUP, you need to provide it with
information about your system. This involves selecting the drive you
want to back up to, and choosing the correct media size for that drive.
An optional test is then performed to determine the best backup speed
for your system.
You can perform this test at anytime by selecting Backup Speed from
the Configure Menu, and selecting the Test button. You should perform a
test whenever your hardware configuration changes. Because the
confidence test only tests the drive and media you selected, you should
also run a confidence test if you change the drive or media.

Resume: Continues from where it left off.
End: Completes writing any file(s) already in memory. For a backup, it
also writes the history file to aid restoring the backed-up files. (The
End option is not available in QIC tape format because the history file
is written first.)
Quit: Cancels immediately. Any files backed up may not be restorable.
Avoid quitting when backing up to SCSI tapes--it can render the tape
unusable.
   CAUTION!: Choosing QUIT during an Incremental backup will lose
 the history file for all the appended backups. To restore
 such a backup set, you will need to Rebuild the
 directory. For tape backups, Quit will not affect other
 sets on the tape, but you cannot rebuild a tape history
 file if it is lost.

 select it to use with CPBACKUP, and choose OK.
  If you are using the Adaptec AHA-1520/1522/1510 card, or the
 Adaptec AIC-6260 motherboard adapter, you must use the ASPI SCSI
 Driver option in this dialog box.
  If you are currently using an ASPI driver because you have

that has the tape drive you want to back up to, or choose Cancel to
return to CPBACKUP's main screen.

problems, such as lost clusters or cross-linked files.  Since these
types of problems can cause unreliable backups, you should quit Backup
and run CHKDSK before continuing.

the backup process for each SCSI or remote tape used, and is
subsequently updated after each backup.

that is shared, choose the Catalog button in the Tape Directory dialog
box, which automatically compares and updates the volume tape catalog
file on your hard disk.
