ERSNT
ERS NT, Emergency Recovery System

Features and Instructions:

ERS NT does two Windows main files backups and three

Registry, all Profiles NTuser.dat and boot files backups for Win NT (FAT/FAT32).

ErsNT needs few Win95 or Win98 MS-DOS files to be placed

in the ErsNT directory in order to backup and restore.

NOTE: Please read the Backup and Restore section of this Help file about

backup and restore summary check list.

Windows main files Backups:

Windows main files backup is made from within the Windows environment

and get zipped in the ErsNT\Zipped folder.

Windows main files don't include the Registry files.

Click either the Windows #1 or the Windows #2 button to make the backup.

Depending on size and speed of computer, it will take about 3 to 12 minutes.

Restore batch files get created and placed in the ErsNT directory,

Win1.bat for backup #1 and Win2.bat for backup #2.

Restore has to be done from the MS-DOS prompt.

Registry , all Profiles NTuser.dat and Boot files Backups:

As most of you know that you can't copy the Registry files while in the

Windows NT environment, so backup and restore has to be done from

the command prompt.

Open ErsNT.exe and click the "Make Registry Backup And Restore batch files"

button.

It will create 9 batch files:

3 Registry, all Profiles NTuser.dat and boot files backup batch files called:

Backsys1.bat

Backsys2.bat

Backsys3.bat

3 Registry, all Profiles NTuser.dat and boot files restore batch files called:

Restsys1.bat

Restsys2.bat

Restsys3.bat

Recreates restore windows restore batch files Win1.bat and Win2.bat.

Lastly, it creates ErsNT.bat and Ers.bat, type Ersnt at the command prompt,

ErsNT.bat will popup and give you instructions on how to backup and restore.

Ers.bat and ErsNT.bat are the same.

Every time profiles are changed and you want to make a backup,

then a fresh set of Batch files has to be made before backing up.

Backup and Restore:

As explained earlier, Windows files backup are made from within the

Windows environment.

To restore the Windows backups or backup and restore the registry,

have to be done from the command prompt.

ERS NT needs the aid of some of Win95 or Win98 MS-DOS files:

Command.com

Attrib.exe

Choice.exe

Deltree.exe

Edit.com

Io.sys

Xcopy.exe

Xcopy32.exe

Xcopy32.mod(If using Win98 only MS-DOS files)

All these files except Io.sys have to be copied to the ErsNT directory,

without these files ERS NT backup and restore can't be carried out.

Command.com and Io.sys have to be copied to the root directory C,

unless you already have these two files in the root directory C.

Edit the Boot.ini

If doesn't already exist, add the following to the bottom of the Boot.ini

found in the root directory C.

C:\ = "MS-DOS"

Boot.ini, is Hidden and Read only.

In the Windows Explorer, click View\Options and select "View all Files"

and click OK. Scroll down the root directory C to the Boot.ini, right click

it and select Properties, in Properties deselect Read Only and click OK.

Double click Boot.ini and select to open it with Notepad, scroll down

to the bottom of the page and Copy\Paste:

C:\ = "MS-DOS"

Save changes and set attributes back to Read Only.

Start computer, select MS-DOS from the NT boot menu,

if you don't have the Command.com and Io.sys in the root directory

then it will give you error message, unless you are booting from ErsNT

boot disk.

Once at the command prompt, type:

ERSNT

it will change directory to the ErsNT directory. if it didn't change directory

then change to the drive ErsNT installed in and type:

CD ERSNT

There, if the ERSNT instruction page didn't popup then type ERS.

It will give you instructions on how to backup and restore.

Type:

Backsys1, Backsys2 or Backsys3 to backup the Registry files.

Type

Restsys1, Restsys2 or Restsys3 to restore from desired Registry backup.

Type

Win1 or Win2 to restore from Windows #1 or #2 backups.

Please print this page and save it.

NOTE: You may need to add the .bat extension to the backup and

restore commands.

NOTE: Every time you open ErsNT.exe it recreates a fresh ErsNT.bat,

make a habit to open ErsNT.exe every time you make a new backup.

NOTE:

If ERS NT is installed in a non English WinNT and profile names

have extended non English characters á, ú etc. then ERS NT will give

error in MS-DOS backing up and restoring profiles NTUser.dat, because

MS-DOS doesn't recognize extended non English characters.

It will be best to change profile names to names without the

non-English characters."

ERS Boot Disk:

-- Before making the ERS bootdisk, be sure to click the

   "Make Backup and Restore batch files" button.

-- In order for the ERS NT boot disk to work:

   1) DON'T use a WinNT formatted floppy, use Win95/98 only to format

       the floppy.

   2) DON'T use third party formatting tools and formatting with

       MS-DOS will NOT work with Win95 or Win98 bootdisk files.

-- Copy the following files to the ErsNT directory first.

   Use only Win95/98 files.

   If using Win98 MS-DOS files then Xcopy32.mod would be needed.

   Command.com

   Attrib.exe

   Choice.exe

   Deltree.exe

   Edit.com

   IO.sys

   Xcopy.exe

   Xcopy32.exe

   Xcopy32.mod(Win98 only)

LEGEND:

Where C:\ is mentioned, its considering "C" is the boot drive.

Where Windows is mentioned, its considering WinNT is the Win NT

Windows Directory.

ERS NT runs in NEC computers that uses A as the boot drive

and would recognize the Windows directory no matter what name

it is called.

Also would recognize the StartMenu in any language.

Also recognize all Profiles.

Where Registry or critical is mentioned, it means the Registry files,

all Profiles NTuser.dat files and boot files.


Backup and Restore

ERS NT Backup and Restore check list:

1) ERS NT needs the aid of some of Win95 or Win98 MS-DOS files:

Command.com

Attrib.exe

Choice.exe

Deltree.exe

Edit.com

Io.sys

Xcopy.exe

Xcopy32.exe

Xcopy32.mod(Win98 only)

All these files except Io.sys has to be copied to the ErsNT directory,

without these files ERS NT backup and restore can't be carried out.

Command.com and Io.sys has to be copied to the root directory C.

If you have Win95 or 98 installed in the same computer then be sure

to use the same MS-DOS version.

2) If doesn't already exist, add the following line to the bottom of the

Boot.ini found in the root directory C.

C:\ = "MS-DOS"

Boot.ini, is Hidden and Read only.

In the Windows Explorer, click View\Options and select "View all Files"

and click OK. Scroll down the root directory C to the Boot.ini, right click

it and select Properties, in Properties deselect Read Only and click OK.

Double click Boot.ini and select to open it with Notepad, scroll down

to the bottom of the page and Copy\Paste:

C:\ = "MS-DOS"

Save changes and set its Attributes back to Read Only.

3) Click on the "Make Backup and Restore batch files" button to

make the backup and restore batch files.

Every time profiles are changed and you need to make a backup,

then a fresh set of Batch files has to be made.

4) After you make a Registry backup from MS-DOS then you should

go back to Windows and open ERS NT, every time ErsNT.exe is opened

it recreates ErsNT.bat.

This is important to reflect backups time and date.

Backup and Restore:

1) Make Windows backups from within Windows, restore it from

MS-DOS.

2) Backup and restore the Registry from MS-DOS:

After you have copied the Command.com and Io.sys to the

root directory C.

Start computer, select MS-DOS from the boot menu,

there type ERSNT or type ERSNT.BAT. It will change directory

to the ErsNT directory and it will display all backup and restore commands.

If it didn't change directory then change to the drive ErsNT installed in and type:

CD ERSNT

If the ERSNT instruction page didn't popup then type ERS.

Type:

Backsys1, Backsys2 or Backsys3 to backup the Registry files.

Type

Restsys1, Restsys2 or Restsys3 to restore from desired Registry backup.

Type

Win1 or Win2 to restore from Windows #1 or #2 backups.

You may need to add the .bat extension to these commands.

Windows NT FAT/FAT32 Only

INSTALLATION

ERSNT is for FAT/FAT32 partition only.

You will find two zip files in the full version download:

vb6run.zip:

Includes all ERSNT required OCXs and DLLs.

Unzip the VB6run into a temporary directory and install by

double clicking the Setup.exe.

ersntu.zip:

Includes all ERSNT files.

Unzip the ersntu.zip to another temporary directory, double

click the Setup.exe and select the desired drive. Then click the Install

button.

ERS NT installs in any drive with no path option because it has to

be accessed from a DOS environment that doesn't recognize long file

names.

Reinstall and Updates

Download the about 90 KB and unzip to a temporary directory.

Select the "Reinstall" button if you are reinstalling to a previous

installation.

Take care  to see that the correct drive to the previous installation is

selected and shown in the drive window.

When reinstalling, don't delete the previous {older} Ersnt directory.

Merely selecting the "Reinstall" command, it will

update and replace all files and recreate any missing files or folders.

UNINSTALL:

Open ErsNT.exe and select to delete all backups then

delete the entire ErsNT directory and shortcut in the StartMenu.

UNINSTALLING the VB6run:

To Un-install, go to the Control Panel \ Add Remove Programs, scroll

down to VB6run and click uninstall. Suggest not to uninstall the

VB6run because it will be needed to run other programs programmed

with Visual Basic 6.0.
