Multiple Drive Multiple drive backups are a snap using BackMaster's
Backups command line options. Use your favorite scheduler to
launch your backups any time you want.
Custom File Instantly start custom backups using BackMaster's file
Selections save sets. Simply drag & drop your custom save sets to
start BackMaster or launch multiple custom save sets
with BackMaster's custom command line options.
File Systems Both the HPFS and FAT file systems are supported.
BackMaster handles EA's, long filenames, INI files, system
files, and the Desktop. Allows user customized forced read of
locked files. Also handles STACked FAT volumes.
QIC 40/80/500 BackMaster uses the new QIC-500 logical format. QIC-500 uses
your QIC 40/80 tape drive to handle extended OS/2 system
information. QIC-500 volumes work on QIC 40/80 formatted tapes
and will coexist with QIC-40/80 volumes on a single cartridge.
Read DOS tapes Backups made with the QIC-40/80 DOS standard may be easily
migrated to your OS/2 system. Users can move to OS/2 without
the need to convert existing backup sets. The DOS compatible
mode(QIC-80 mode) of BackMaster allows for true cross-platform data
exchange between DOS/WINDOWS/and OS/2. Many DOS programs
can read BackMaster QIC-80 tapes. (For more information refer
the README.TXT file included with this demo.)
Transparent BackMaster operations may be performed in the background
Background allowing uninterrupted foreground operations. Important
Operation backups may be performed while maintaining user productivity.
Easy to use Intuitive PM interface simplifies use and promotes frequent
backups. BackMaster is as easy to use as the OS/2 file
manager. Total, partial, incremental, and unattended backups
can be performed proficiently by beginners. BackMaster makes
use of the right mouse button to select and deselect folders.
Disaster Although not included with the demo, BackMaster includes a
Recovery powerful disaster plan. A tool to assist in the creation of
boot diskettes is included (BMRCVR.EXE). These boot diskettes
will be customized with the needed drivers for your computer
and tape drive. A text based restore program (BMREST.EXE)
allows you to restore a complete OS/2 backup set by booting
from these custom diskettes.
