C O N T E N T S:
================
Installation = short installation description
Backups = how to make the important backup
I N S T A L L A T I O N:
========================
The standard distribution of DFSee (DFSEE.ZIP) contains all the
files you will need to use it. There are several versions of the
DFSee executable (DOS, Win-NT and OS/2) and there are some batch
files like DFSUNFD. Then there are a bunch of dfs*.txt files that
contain detailed information about DFSee and the commands.
So, just unzip DFSEE.ZIP in a directory of your choice ...
IMPORTANT: When you are new to DFSee, I recommend you use the
DFSTART script to start with. It will collect some
very usefull backup files the first time it is used
DFSee is a swiss-army knife of disk-tools packaged in a single
executable file (.EXE). There is really no need for 'installing'
anything, as long as the executable can be found.
(in the PATH for instance).
So make sure the executable is in a tools directory or a directory
of its own, and make sure that directory is in the PATH to make it
more convenient. The only thing that IS a bit important is that
the registration file needs to be in a directory in the PATH as
well, and must be renamed to the fixed name: 'dfsee.key'.
Available executables:
- DFSOS2.EXE The OS/2 executable, full function including REXX
- DFSWIN.EXE The Win-NT/2000/XP executable, full function no REXX
- DFSDOS.EXE The DOS executable, full function no REXX
I M P O R T A N T B A C K U P S:
==================================
I advise to keep a copy of DFSDOS.EXE on a DOS boot-diskette for
emergency purposes.
Then an important backup command to used on your existing system(s)
as a preventive measure.
DFSOS2.EXE psave * filename Some short description of your system
Will make a backup of all important partition-table and bootsectors
to a relatively small file that be used in cases or emergency to
restore them (with prestore).
Use a meaningfull 'filename' for each different system you backup.
(of course it works just as well with DFSDOS.EXE or DFSWIN.EXE)
For extra information on the systems you could also run the
DFSUNFD.CMD or DFSUNFD.BAT script that comes with DFSee.
It will create one DFSUNFDx.LOG file for each physical harddisk
in the system.
Note: The DFSUNFD and PSAVE stuff above is included in DFSTART,
so if you use that you are on the safe side!
