ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR FASTBACK PLUS USERS:
This version of Fastback Plus (1.01) has the following improvements over
version 1.00:
1. Increased estimate and backup speed during partial backups. You
will note that the time required to perform an estimate, do the actual
backup, and reset archive flags has been greatly reduced. The
difference in time is likely to be more pronounced on computers with
slower hard disks.
2. Slightly less memory (about 5k) is required to run the program.
3. A low probablility of occurance compression/expansion bug has been
corrected. It is unlikely that you you have encountered this data
dependent problem, because only three people out of roughly 20,000 users
have reported it. This version of Fastback Plus has a 99% chance of
automatically restoring disks backed up incorrectly with version 1.00.
If the disks cannot be automatically restored, it is likely that we can
restore them manually.
4. The amount of time required to identify that a disk is unformatted
during disk change time has been reduced by 33%.
5. The feature has been added allowing restoration of high speed floppies
containing error correction to a normal DOS drive path and restore source.
This allows restoring error corrected backups to floppies.
6. Some incompatibilities with the new PS/2 series computers were
corrected.
BATCH EXAMPLES
The files BACKUP.BAT and RESTORE.BAT on the distribution
disk are examples of using the batch processor in Fastback
Plus.
To do a full backup of your hard disk, just type:
BACKUP C<ENTER>
at the DOS prompt, where C may be any hard disk letter.
To do a full restore, just type:
RESTORE C<ENTER>
at the DOS prompt, where C may be any hard disk letter.
