An automated utility to back up your PAF data files.

reached on his BBS, Interconnect, (703) 425-2505.

PAFBak should be run as part of a batch file which will run your
Family Records (FR) program. A sample batch file is supplied. A
similar batch file can be created for the Research Data Filer
(RDF) and the Genealogical Information Exchange (GIE). Each time
you exit PAF, PAFBak will check the specified directory for all
.DAT files, and will copy them to floppy diskette(s). If your
data is voluminous, multiple diskettes are automatically
supported. Files are selected on a best fit basis to reduce the
number of back-up diskettes.
NOTE: Files are NOT split between back-up diskettes so any single
file cannot exceed the size of your backup diskettes.
Prior to copying the data to the back-up diskette, the diskette
will be cleaned of data. PAFBak will format diskettes, if
requested. PAFBak will support a mouse, if a mouse driver is
found. PAFBak will copy to 360, 720, 1.2 or 1.44 meg diskettes.
PAFBak will only run on a 100% IBM compatible computer, with at
least 256K of memory. It will run on MONO, Hercules graphics,
CGA, EGA or VGA monitors, but will look best if run on a color
system.
Remember, your data is ONLY as good as your last backup!
