- BACKUP is a simple hard disk backup utility that will
- copy all files and folders in a hard disk partition to a series
- of floppy disks. The floppy disks contain an exact replicate of
- the file structure from the hard disk and can be restored through
- the normal disk file copy procedures. Whenever BACKUP doesn't
- have room for a file on a floppy disk it requests a new disk.
- this simple algorith does not optimize usage of floppy disk
- space.
-
- BACKUP does not have a corresponding restore function
- since the backup floppies contain normal ST files and
- directories. To restore a file or a folder simply copy it back
- onto the hard disk.
-
- To run BACKUP double click the BACKUP.TTP icon and enter
- the command arguments in the dialog box. The argument format is
- the disk directory to be backed up followed by the floppy drive
- that the backup will be done on.
-
- C:\ A:
-
- Will copy all files and folders in hard drive partition C
- onto backup floppies in drive A:.
-
- D:\FOO\ B:
-
- Will copy all files and folders in the folder FOO in the
- top directory of hard drive partition D: onto floppies
- in drive B:.
-
- E: A:
-
- Will copy all files and folders in the current folder on
- hard drive partition E: onto floppies in drive A:.
-
- BACKUP requires that the floppies are preformatted. They
- can contain files, but BACKUP will delete all files and folders
- on a floppy disk before using the floppy. When BACKUP needs a
- new floopy it will display the following message:
-
- Insert a new backup disk in drive A:
- WARNING! All files will be deleted
- Press any character when ready
-
- Insert a floppy disk in the requested drive and type any
- character. THE ORIGINAL CONTENTS OF THE FLOPPY DISK WILL BE
- LOST. As BACKUP runs out of disk space on floppy disks it will
- request new floppies until the backup is complete.
