Short: FBackNG - Daily backup/mirror/cleanup program.
Author: ceppe@pandora.be
Uploader: ceppe@pandora.be
Version: 1.1.0
Type: disk/bakup
Requires: XPK
Introduction
--------------
'FBackNG' is a daily backup tool. It will check files and copy them
to your backup location if they changed. Additionally it runs a scan
between the original location and the backup, and updates the backup
creating a mirror this way. Working in this fashion will get you up
and running again after HD problems/replacement. See example section
for common usages (in manual).
Changes (in relation to FBack/FMirror):
- complete rewrite of directory/file parser to support any partition
size with any number of files.
- added features to enhance portability (standard ANSI functions and
UNIX command line parsing).
- the program now comprises the two functionalities of the fback/fmirror
suite, one program serves all. The program will now run in phases.
First a backup phase will run which saves all changed files, then
if you specify it, a mirror phase is executed. It will synchronise
the backup with the original. You can also specify to skip backup
phase and only run a mirror phase.
- extra care has been taken to make it idiot proof, extensive reporting
and distinct error detection to make troubleshooting easier.
Changes (as of V1.0.0)
------------------------
- argument parsing now fully getopt() [open source] compliant.
- added DELETE phase.
- added FBackNGUI frontend.
