'NETBACK
'PROGRAM WRITTEN IN MICROSOFT QUICKBASIC VERS 4.5
'WRITTEN 11/22/88 BY TMR
'OVERVIEW
'This program is designed to facilitate the copying of
subdirectories from one file server to another. It calls a batch
file which performs the necessary commands.
'The program is designed to run at a user specified time so that
it can run overnight when there is no one logged on. Since it
must be left running on a logged in terminal, the usual break
keys are trapped and ignored. When the batch file is done, the
program executes the LOGOUT command.
It is suggested that a special login be used to execute this
program. The login should NOT have supervisor rights. It should
have rights to those directories that need to be backed up.
'The program will also update a backup log file. It asks for the
backup log file name. It enters the date and time and also
copies the batch file to the log so there is a record of what was
actually attempted.
The program can be aborted by hitting the down arrow key on
the numeric keypad. You then have 10 seconds to enter the
appropriate password. The password is supplied by the user
when the program is run. All attempts at aborts, successful
and unsuccessful, are recorded in the backup log file.
The files consist of the following:
NETBACK.EXE A standalone version of the program compiled
with Microsoft Quickbasic version 4.5.
NETBACK1.EXE A compiled version that requires BRUN45.EXE to
run.
NETBACK.BAS The source code saved in ASCII format.
SAMPLE.BAT A sample batch file used for network backup.
This would be the file executed by the program. You can name the
file whatever you like since the program asks for the batch
filename to execute.
LOG.NET A sample of a log file produced by the program.
No warranties or representations are made regarding this program.
USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.
