- This file contains the latest information about the current
- version of MegaBack
-
- IMPORTANT: MegaBack builds the necessary data files in the
- directory where MB.EXE is located. Ideally, MegaBack needs to
- be in a special directory to itself, since MegaBack excludes
- the directory that it is in from backup. To install, create a
- directory on your hard disk, and copy MB.EXE to that directory.
- Then, start the program by enter MB and set up the system
- options. That's it!
-
- NOTE: MegaBack attempts to estimate the number of minutes
- necessary for backup. The first time you run MegaBack, the
- estimation will probably be significantly off, reflecting more
- minutes needed than will be actually used. Subsequent backups
- will be more accurate.

-

-
- Now checks for CONFIG.SYS to verify the proper number of
- files can be open.
-
- Version 1.12ß
-
- Fixed a small problem with restarted backups.
-
-
- Version 1.11ß
-
- Fixes:
-
- When indexes are split across diskettes, MegaBack would
- request the disk that it had just filled, overwriting
- the existing data.
-
- When indexes were split across the SAME diskette, TWICE,
- MegaBack would write to the incorrect diskette. Data
- was still intact though.
-
- Version 1.10ß
-
- Fixes:
-
- Attributes were not reset correctly at times
-
-
- Version 1.09ß
-
- Fixes:
-
- When running on machines with DOS versions earlier than
- 5.0, the disk format routine would sometimes lock up the
- machine.

- machines.
-
-
- Enhancments:
- -----------
-
- Sped up processing significantly over prior versions.
-

- files that it wishes to overlay on restore.
-
-
- Version 1.07
- ------------
-
- Fixes:
-
- In determining drives, MegaBack would only allow access
- to drives that were in order. For example, drives C, D,
- and E would be processed, but not C, D, F.
-
- When excluding files, if <SPACE> was hit on a selected
- file, and ESC was hit, you could no longer untag/tag the
- file.
-
- When scanning disks, if not files were found, MegaBack
- crashed.
-
- When in select mode backing up files, MegaBack displayed
- more files than were going to be processed, since the
- MegaBack directory was not properely excluded.
-
- Fixed a bug in the disk scanner that would cause
- intermittant problems
-
- Enhancements:
-
- MegaBack can now process multiple drives in one session.
-
