- file names and extended attributes.
- Features relevant to the network environment for the IBM OS/2
- LAN Server and the IBM Personal Computer LAN Program environments
- include:
- o Ability to schedule unattended backup procedures of file servers
- o Prior to backup, on a server basis, optional message sent to all
- users with active sessions

- USER PRODUCTIVITY
- The Sytos Plus user interface is based on the Common User Access (TM)
- (CUA (TM)) recommendations that represent the personal computer
- industry's movement toward standardization. The OS/2 version is a
- Presentation Manager (R) application. The user interface offers an
- intuitive point-and-shoot progression of windows for each
- specification of files from source volumes, directories within source
- volumes or individual files. More specific categories of files can
- be chosen by designating date ranges, changed status for incremental
- backup or wildcards; that is, * and ?.
- A responsive online HELP facility promotes learning, usability
- and productivity. Sample procedures are provided for commonly used
- tasks to help reduce learning time.

- INVESTMENT PROTECTION
- The compress-backed-up files option can condense files up to 70% (50%
- average) of the original file size. This feature can more than

- as does 500MB of compressed data.
