NetBackup 1.0 was written as a complete data backup utility for the Macintosh and small Macintosh networks. It is written in HyperTalk, the scripting language of HyperCard.
•NetBackup 1.0 can copy individual files, and complete folders, very quickly to almost any mounted volume such as external tape/cartridge drives, external hard drives,* or any other designated networked volume.
•NetBackup 1.0 can automatically or manually mount** and unmount networked volumes either on an AppleTalk or Ethernet network.
•NetBackup 1.0 can do scheduled** backups so backups can be performed when computer usage is at its minimum. It can also be configured to quit when the backup session is complete.
•NetBackup 1.0 keeps an ongoing extensive log file, both within the application and in a text file located on the desktop.
* Floppies are slated for a future version if the need is there. This was decided because the size of hard drives and applications these days doesn't make this seem feasible. NetBackup 1.0 does check the volume and total sizes of a session prior to the backup process. If NetBackup senses that the files/folders to be backed up total greater than the backup volume, you will be notified and the backup process will cease.
We wil try in future versions to make NetBackup learn to fill up consecutive volumes during a manual session.
** Registered Versions Only.
