Back In A Flash!
Command Line Restore Utility
Version 1.00

General
-------
The command line restore utility, CCTREST, is a handy utility
for performing a full restoration of a system in the event of a
system crash. CCTREST allows a system to be restored after
booting OS/2 off of diskettes and formatting the partitions.
This is a great timesaver, since without this OS/2 would first
need to be reloaded, then Back In A Flash!, and then finally the
applications and data.
What it is not
--------------
CCTREST is a specific utility, and as such it does not have many
additional features. CCTREST was designed for the non-swapping,
character mode environment present after booting off of
diskettes. Therefore, the utility is small and fast. For more
full-featured restore capabilities, use the restore built into
Back In A Flash!.
Setup
-----
The only two files needed to use the command line restore
utility are the CCTREST.EXE executable file, and CCTCMP01.DLL,
the compression .DLL file. These two files together total only
about 53K, so they will both fit onto the second OS/2 2.1 boot
diskette. Alternatively, if you have used SEBOOT20 or one of
the other utilities to create a single OS/2 boot diskette, you
should place both of these files onto that diskette. Note that
if the device where the backup resides requires a device driver
to be accessible (LAN, Bernoulli, Magneto-Optical) that driver
must also be on the boot diskette with the appropriate entries
in the config.sys file.
Usage
-----
CCTREST is easy to use. Once the partition for the restore has
been formatted, use the following syntax to restore the data to
the system :
CCTREST [/o] <group> <location>
where <group> is the name of the group ('FULL', for example) and
location is the full path name to the archive file ('A:\', for
example). If some files already exist on the system that
should be overwritten, specify the /o parameter. Otherwise,
CCTREST will prompt the operator when it trys to restore a file
that already exists.
