NAME
BackMan -- backs up your data.
INPUTS
DRIVE/K - drive name(s), as DF0:, PC0:, etc.
Doesn't need trailing colon, but will be truncated at the first
colon if present (i.e. you could say "DF0:foo" if you really
wanted to).
DEVICE/K - name of trackdisk-like Exec device (say, scsi.device).
The device must support the TD_GETGEOMETRY command to work with
BackMan. Almost any trackdisk-like device will do, but if you get
unlikely disk sizes it probably lacks full support of the command
in question (for example, diskspare.device 1.6 will say it can
hold something like 512 Mb per disk).
However, avoid naming the device itself and stick to the standard
DOS drive name if possible (DFx: for trackdisk.device, PCx: for
mfm.device, etc.), because the interface is much more reliable.
SHOW/S - print out complete file catalogs' listings.
Only selected entries will be shown.
The LIST option automatically enables SHOW and does nothing else.
NOCOM/S - don't backup/restore file comment.
Especially useful when restoring files to a MS-DOS® disk or
partition handled by CrossDOS® (or similar), since the MS-DOS®
file system doesn't support comments and you would get a "Can't
set comment" error for every file that has a comment. Can also
save some memory and disk space if you don't need to backup
comments and your files have them.
NOTE: this options refers to files' comments, while the next
refers to the global backup comment. Don't confuse the two.
COM=COMMENT/K - backup comment.
This comment will be shown every time the backup is read.
By default, the comment will be set to the name of the drawer
being backed up.
KEYS
Press CTRL-C to abort BackMan.
Press CTRL-F to stop (pause) BackMan; press CTRL-F again to restart.
