- This is a totally wonderful program. Every evening, I have my PC
- wake up (using the ALARM applet)
- and do a Datasave incremental backup over ethernet via TCP/IP.
- There are only two little glitches. It won't backup files that
- are open (oops, the INI files are open), and it won't backup
- empty directories (oops, the desktop is stored (mostly) as EA's
- in empty directories). I generally shut down as much of my PC
- as I can before I go home so Datasave can succeed without
- dealing with open files.
