This program is what I expect to be the best backup utility available for
the Amiga. Features are :
- Backup to floppies or to an archive file.
- Full or partial backup and restore.
File selection by name, date, and protection bits. You can save
your favorite selections, and recall them later.
- Cyclic backup to and restore from several drives.
- Optionnal data compression
An internal algorithm is provided, but you can use any external
program. The XPK library is also supported.
- Function to rebuild catalog
Allow to restore files from a damaged archive file, or if some
disks are missing.
- Error recovering function.
If an error occurs while writing to the 17th disk, you won't have
to restart from the first one.
- Under 2.0 system release, High Density disks (1.76 Mb) and links
(hard and soft) are supported.
- Full Intuition interface, as well as "batch" mode for CLI lovers
and automatic backups.
- Multitask program.
A child task is created, and performs all write operations to
floppies. This makes ABackup about 10 to 20% faster.
- View operation during file selection
The names of the viewer programs are configurable. The file is
extracted from the archive if needed.
This program is shareware, so if you use it don't forget the contribution
(please refer to the documentation for more informations). ABackup v3.00
will be available in May 1993, with non-AmigaDOS partitions support and a
new child task that makes backup about 15% faster.
