- [another way to backup the desktop using COPY]
-
- An excellent way of backing up the OS/2 configuration files every time you
- boot is:
-
- CALL c:\archivers\zoo.exe unP+q ini.zoo c:\*.sys c:\*.ini c:\os2\*.ini
- CALL c:\archivers\zoo.exe glAq=8 ini.zoo
-
- you need to substitute whatever directory your zoo is in.
-
- the first line adds a compressed version of the SYS and INI files to the
- archive ini.zoo, only if the files have changed since last backup. The
- second line tells zoo to keep eight versions of each file. I don't
- remember if the archive gets packed by these commands... you might consider
- doing that.
