PAFBak.Com
Copyright (C)1988 Jeffrey S. Morley
All rights reserved
PAFBak.Com is an automated utility to back up your Personal Ancestral
File genealogy program data files. It should be run as part of a batch
file which will run your Family Records (FR) program. A sample batch file
is included. A similar batch file can be created for the Research Data
Filer (RDF) and the Genealogical Information Exchange (GIE).
Each time you exit PAF, PAFBak will check the specified directory for
all .DAT files, and will copy them to floppy diskette(s). If your data
is voluminous, multiple diskettes are automatically supported. Files are
selected on a best fit basis to reduce the number of back-up diskettes.
Files are NOT split between back-up diskettes.
Prior to copying the data to the back-up diskette, the diskette will be
cleaned of data.
PAFBak will format diskettes, if requested.
PAFBak will support a mouse, if a mouse driver is found.
PAFBak will copy to 360, 720, 1.2 or 1.44 meg diskettes.
Requirements:
PAFBak will only run on a 100% IBM compatible computer, with at least
256K of memory. It will run on MONO, HERC, CGA, EGA or VGA monitors,
but will look best if run on a color system.
Syntax:
PAFBAK [x:]\sourcepath y:
Where x:\sourcepath is the full drive and pathname of your PAF data
files location, and y: is the destination drive letter.
The following is a sample batch file to have PAFBak called after each
PAF session.
ECHO OFF
CLS
CD\PAF
FR
PAFBAK C:\PAF\DATA A:
This batch file will run the PAF Family Records program, and then execute
PAFBak.Com before exiting to DOS. The data files reside in the directory
of \PAF\Data, and the destination drive is the A: drive.
Remember, your data is ONLY as good as your last backup!
