- The Vault is a GEM-based hard disk backup program that approximates
- the speed of image backups while writing standard TOS-readable floppy
- disks. It has several noteworthy features: it has built-in error
- checking and error-recovery routines, it does not require a large
- memory, nor is it necessary to specially reboot the machine before
- running, it can back up files that are larger than a single floppy
- disk, it provides both full and incremental backups, and incremental
- backups can be based on file dates and/or the modify bit (under TOS
- 1.4), it allows multiple wildcard patterns to select the files and/or
- folders to back up, it permits backup options to be saved and restored
- from configuration files, and it maintains a complete log of its
- actions. It has extensive built-in help screens and comes with a
- 27-page manual in LaTeX format. The Key is a companion GEM-based copy
- program for restoring files saved by The Vault and is needed to
- reassemble occasional long files that have been split across floppies.
