- I use AmiBack to backup (and occasionally restore) several hundred megs
- of data each weak. Enforcer is constantly running on my system. I have
- never seen the final release version of AmiBack cause an enforcer hit and
- have never had it corrupt my system or my backup data. I was one of the
- beta-testers for the 2.0 release and helped Gary track down several hits
- that were present in beta-versions but to the best of my knowledge the
- final release was enforcer clean. (Most of my testing concentrated on the
- tape-backup and restore aspects though so its possible if you are using
- floppies you may be experiencing problems that I have not encountered on my
- configuration.)
-
- What revision of the program do you have? I believe the current revision
- is 2.0f. If you have an earlier 2.0 revision you can call up the
- MoonLighter software support BBS in Orlando, Fla. and download the 2.0f
- upgrade for free. The BBS number is in the front of your AmiBack manual.
- If the latest revision does not fix your problem I would suggest you
- contact MoonLighter tech support via phone or BBS and describe your
- complete configuration and the problems you are having. They are usually
- very helpful and knowledgeable.
