\b\qc Overview\
\b0 \
\ql This program will backup a directory into another directory, usually onto an OD or SCSI hard drive. You have the choice of
\b exactly
\b0 duplicating the directory being backed up, or
\b updating
\b0 the backup with changes and new files.
\b Exactly
\b0 duplicating the file system means that any files in the destination, that are not in the source directory, will be
\b removed. Updating
\b0 means the files will be left. Either way, any files that are newer on the source, that destination, will be updated. \
With this in mind, users that have want to keep files in a backup that have been deleted from their hard drive, may want to start new backup archives. That way files deleted will stay in the old archive and the new archive will be an image of the current file system.\
One of the nice things about the UN*X utility
\i rdist
\i0 is that it only updates files that have changed since the last copy was done. And, since this app is based on
\i rdist
\i0 it does the same thing.\
\b\qc Jiffy Usage\
\b0 \
\ql Drag in the source and destination folders and hit the
\i Start Backup
\i0 Button. All output from the backup will be displayed in the scrolling text area at the bottom.\
