- About this manual
- =================
-
- This is HardBack release 1.04, manual release 1.10
- Last updated 20th February 1996
-
- This manual is divided into several sections:
- 1 Introduction
- What HardBack does, and installation instructions.
- 2 HardBack in use
- An in-depth guide to all the features provided by HardBack.
- The two programs, Backup and Restore will be covered
- separately, since they differ substantially in their operation.
- 3 Other matters
- Points which are relevant to both programs, some of a more
- general nature.
- 4 Appendix
- A: Information on how to register to receive the full
- version of HardBack.
- B: Copyright information etc.
-
- This manual assumes you are fairly familiar with the desktop of the
- Acorn, and that you know about choosing menu options, dragging
- icons etc. If you are not familiar with this read the Welcome Guide
- and User Guide supplied with your computer first.
-
- This manual is stored in two formats, text and Impression. The text
- versions are taken directly from the Impression copy so please ignore any
- references to diagrams etc. If you really want to see the diagrams,
- Shift-double click on the Impression file icon and rummage around. The
- Impression file is in Impression Style format, so should be readable by
- Style, Publisher and Publisher Plus but not Junior, or Impresion II. Users
- of these two packages will have to use the text version. If you are using
- Edit to read this text you should use Expand Tabs to align it properly.
-
- All the screenshots in this manual have been taken from Risc OS
- 3.5 in high resolution mode 27. In low resolution modes, and on
- other versions of Risc OS, especially version 2, some of the
- windows may look slightly different. This has no effect on how
- HardBack works.
-
- Release Notes
- =============
-
- All versions of HardBack have now been tested on Risc OS 2, and no problems
- have been found.
-
- When running under Risc OS 3.5 (and probably 3.6 as well), a slight problem
- occurs with respect to errors. Sometimes, if an error has occured during the
- backup procedure, and you try to stop the backup procedure, Risc OS gets a
- bit confused and thinks that the message asking whether you want to end the
- backup actually relates to the error that has just occured. As a result of
- this, it puts up an error box saying that something has gone seriously wrong
- with HardBack, but this in fact is in response to the query, and if you click
- on Describe, it will show up the message. The moral of this story is that
- you should always click on Describe to see if anything has gone seriously
- wrong, or if Risc OS has got the wrong idea.
