Documentation to BackUpUp
$VER: BackUpUp.doc 1.00 (21.02.1997)

Usage
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This directory contains some useful scripts for backups.
The original script (BackUpUp) was designed by Attilio Scifoni (Thanks).
Here is his description of what it exactly does.
Dear Sven
I have used your fine program UPDATECOPY and I have found it more useful for
faster backups from one partition to another of the same harddisk,or of the
different harddisks.
With the gigabytes of modern harddisk the backup with floppy disks would
requires hundreds of disks!
For such purpose I have prepared a cli programme, named BACKUPUP, using your
UPDATECOPY.
In this programme I have put the default source DH0: and the default
destination HD0:, selected simply bay pressing ENTER, but they may be
modified, with a editor, according to the personal requirements.
Moreover the selection of eventual options ALL, DEEP and FORCE is made simply
by pressing ENTER.
At last, there is the option of rename the eventual file .BACKDROP , to
eviting the double visualization of the 'extracted' files on the Workbench
screen.
Therefore if I want (as it happens for my backups):
UPDATECOPY DH0: HD0: ALL FORCE ,
with the RENAME of the eventual file .BACKDROP ,
I must simply press ENTER eigth times!
Naturally this programme may be utilized also for copying from a directory or
floppy disk to another!
Best regards and sorry for my bad english!

The following scripts can be found in this directory:
BackUpUp
This is the original script by Attilio Scifoni.
I only removed the workaround for a bug of UpDateCopy.
BackUpUp2
This is a modified version. I cleaned up the output and
gave the local variables a self-explaining name.
BackUpUp_GUI
Bases on backUpUp2 but uses requesters for user-inputs.
