-
- Installation
- ----------------

- TRIBACK.EXE is. Included is TRIBACK.CFG. TRIBACK.CFG reads as such:

- The information it holds is this:
-
- --------------------------[TriBackup Configuration]--------------------------
- SYSTEM
- SysOp
- Directory to store backups
- Do you use BULLETIN.MNU (y/n)
- Do you use DOORBULL.MNU (y/n)
- Do you use DOORS.MNU (y/n)
- Do you use EVENT.DAT (y/n)
- Do you use EXTPROT.MNU (y/n)
- Do you use QUESTION.MNU (y/n)
- Do you use RATIO.DAT (y/n)
- Do you use FREE.DAT (y/n)

-
- Sorry, you cannot comment within the file, except after the last line.
- Configuration can be in any case.
-
- Word/description used: Description in english:
- ============================ =============================================
- SYSTEM - The BBS Name.
- SysOp - System Operator's Name/alias.
- Directory to store backups - Directory where you want the back up to be.
- Do you use xxxxxxxx.xxx (y/n) - Do you use this menu/data file? The reason
- TriBackup asks you that is because if you
- do, it will back it up. TriBackup will
- look for it if you say that you use it and
- back it up. If not, it will not back it up.
- How many languages do you
- support? - Since TriBBS 5.00 supports languages,
- TriBackup will also back up your languages.
- Youcan use up to 999 languages. Simply put
- a number between 0-999 to answer the
- question.
- Node Number - The number of the node. If you enter 1,
- TriBackup will use the MWORK directory and
- backup more files. If this is set to
- something other than 1, it will just backup
- the TriBBS directory files, and the NWORK
- directory files.
- Node directory - The directory where TriBackup can find all
- the files it will backup.
-
- This program can easily adapt with-in a batch file. If you run TriBackup
- within your bacth file, check for 'ERROR.' This will mean that the attempt
- has failed because of something. 'ERROR.' doesn't say anything but that
- TriBackup failed on a certain time and date. An example of such a batch file
- would be:
-
- ---------------------------[TriBackup Batch Files]---------------------------
- @ECHO OFF
- IF EXIST ERROR DEL ERROR
- TRIBACK TRIBACK.CFG
- IF EXIST ERROR GOTO ERR
- GOTO END
-
- :ERR
- ECHO SysOP: There has been an error. Please check configuration.
- REM Routine to shut down
-
- :END
