SBU is a Selective BackUp sytem where you can select which files to backup on a very regular basis. In addition the facility is provided to
allow files to be restored from BackUp.
It is not intended to take the place of a full backup but allows very
quick and easy backups to be made of critical files.
Installation
---------------
Copy the SBU.aif, SBU.app, SBU.mbm and the SBU.opo files to a System\apps\SBU directory on the C drive. (You must use the C Drive). Copy the SBU$SYS.cfg file to the root of the C drive (C:\).
Configuring SBU
----------------------
The SBU$SYS.cfg file is where the detail of the backups required are held.
This is a Text file (Not Word) and must be configured for your Psion.
When SBU is first run select the Config. option on the Toolbar and choose BackUp. The current backup configuration will be loaded into a text editor. (the initial file that will be loaded is mine and must be
altered, as below, before SBU can be run on your machine).
Look carefully at the way the file is set up. It may look difficult to start
with but just take a few minutes to see what it is and it will soon be clear what is happening.
Here is an example file with explanations.
Firstly these are the various backup options available:
#AGENDA
#PERSONAL
#ALL
#End
you can add up to 30 different options or alter these. Each option starts with a # and at the end of all the options there must be an #end
statement.
These are the actual backups. There must be one of these for each
option above and they are numbered in the order of the options,
in this example #AGENDA #1 #PERSONAL #2 etc. and must all end
with a #End statement.
In each option just show the file or files to be backed up in that option
followed by a comma and where you want the files to be backed up. This will be a directory and therefore will end with a \ If you want all
the files in that directory backed up then the files to be backed up will be *.* (see PERSONAL example.)
The ALL option is just all the backups from all the previous options.
