LDBkup - LARGE DRIVE BACKUP
Purpose: To provide a simple, yet effect tools for backing up large logical
volumes and partitions (i.e. whose archive size is > 2GB.
Method: Uses RAR (copyrighted) with its unique file-spanning option to
do the actual backup. Therefore RAR (available at
http://www.rarlab.com/rar must be installed on your system for
LDBkup to be able to run. If you find yourself using RAR regularly,
please register it. :-)
Installation: 1) Install RAR by unpacking the self-extracting archive into a
directory of your choice.
2) Rename the file RAR32.exe in the RAR directory to RAR.EXE.
2) Add the above directory to the system PATH.
3) If necessary add a ".\" (minus quotes) at the beginning of
your LIBPATH. This will ensure that the newer version of
emx.dll contained in the archive will be used.
4) Unpack the LDBkup archive to RAR directory used above.
5) With any text editor, open the file LDBkup.cmd, and edit
the the SET statements for LD_HOME and LD_Output to the
fully-specified path into which you installed LDBkup, and to
the UNC value for the directory into which you want the
archives to go, respectively. Do not modify or adjust the
single quotes.
NOTE: The UNC for a directory is always in the format
\\servername\sharename, where "servername" is the
computer-id or hostname of the system containing the
the directory, and "sharename" is the name assigned
assigned to a drive or directory by the NET SHARE
command or by using the "Sharing and Connecting"
program.
TIP: Entering "Net Share" (minus the quotes) from a command
line will list all the sharenames defined for the
system.
Installation is now complete.
Using: To use LDBkup, simply enter the command "LDBkup Type Drive1: Drive2:
from a command line, where Type is the backup type (FULL, DIFF), and
Drive1, Drive2, etc. are the drive letter to be backed up. The COLONS
must be present. For more information, see the LDBkup.html file.
Enjoy!
