 The Backup Master Index File
The Backup Master Index file is called "BUDATA.BDF" by default. You can change this name (and you should if you backup more than one machine) but please ensure that you retain the ".BDF" extension. You change the name by using the File
As option to save the file under a different name.
This file contains information about all files in the backup. It enables Backup Fugue to determine which files need to be backed up subsequently (see Disk
Logging), as well as locating files you wish to restore.
Many of the menu options will only work if you have a Backup Master Index file open (displayed in a window), since they operate on files and directories.
You should always keep this file in a safe place, and copy it to floppy after each backup you perform. You will not be able to restore any files if you lose the master index file (although you can recreate
it from the backup disks themselves).
To minimise the problems of sudden power failures, this file is saved to disk after each backup volume is processed. For large backup volumes (>10Meg), it will be saved after every 5Meg of backup data.
                    ~~~
 Comparison of Disk with Backup Index
When Backup Fugue logs a disk drive, it compare the contents against the Backup
Master
Index. Files which have changed will have a new version added into the index, and the new version will be marked as add
backup.
If this version causes the number of versions of this file to exceed the number set in the cycles
keep dialog (which defaults to 1), then the previous version will be marked as obsolete, and will be deleted NEXT TIME not this time.
If Backup Fugue finds files in the Master Backup Index marked as Obsolete from the previous backup run, it will mark them for deletion, and they will be deleted IN THIS BACKUP RUN. q
This ensures that files on the backup cannot be lost or destroyed by a power failure during the backup process.
Files which are found in the index but not on the logged disk are marked for restore unless they have been marked as Archived

 Backup Fugue
This copy of BackUp Fugue is a registerd version. It is licensed for use only by one person at a time, and on one machine at a time.
You are free to distribute the shareware version of this program to anyone you wish, provided you do not tamper with the files, and distribute all the files. We retain copyright to the program, but we are responsive to any suggestions you may have about our programs. We are committed to providing good software for a low price. The registration fee helps us to continue to develop it.

 The ASP
The notation 'ASP' indicates the program complies with the standards of the Association of Shareware Professionals.
 ASP Ombudsman
Fugue software is an approved vendor and member of the Association of Shareware Professionals (ASP). The ASP wants to make sure that the shareware principle works for you. If you are unable to resolve a shareware related problem with an ASP member by contacting the member directly, the ASP may be able to help you. The ASP Ombudsman can help you resolve a dispute with an ASP member, but does not provide technical support for a members' products. Please write to the ASP ombudsman at 545 Grover Road, Muskegon MI 49442-9427 USA or send a Compuserve Mail message to the ASP Ombudsman 70007,3536 or FAX [phone]
 Shareware
Shareware is an exciting marketing method which allows you to try top quality software before you pay the author. With shareware, you cannot be disappointed spending money for a program that's not right for you. The small fee you pay for the shareware copy covers only the duplication and distribution costs, and permits you to evaluate the program.
If you continue the use a shareware program after a reasonable evaluation period (we allow 42 days) you must register the program by sending the author the additional payment (or "registration
fee") requested. This payment entitles you to technical support, printed manual, bonus programs and more. Your payment supports the authors, allowing them to continue writing newer and better shareware programs.
Shareware versions may be freely copied and given to others, provided all the files are copied, and the recipient is made aware that the programs are shareware, and informed that they are required to pay the registration fee if they use the program past the evaluation period.
The notation ASP indicates the program complies with the standards of the Association of Shareware Professionals, and is your guarantee of receiving a quality program.
Registered versions are "fully paid up" copies of a program. Normally they come with printed documentation. As a general rule, they may not be copied or shared around for evaluation - that is the purpose of the shareware version. 5

 Master Backup Window
This is the main window, and gives access to all the backup and restore functions.
It consists of the Logged Drives Directory
Tree, the Files
Window, the statistics window for the current directory, the Backup
statistics window and the source
statistics window.
From here you can mark files and directories for backup, for restore or deletion. You can also mark files on the backup as archived and later delete them from the hard disk. Having marked files, you can then start the backup or the restore process.
You can also tag files and then perform file management functions on the hard disk such as view
files using several viewers, associate programs with the files and then launch the programs on those files, or even launch the files themselves if they are programs.
You can copy files from one directory to another, delete files from the hard disk, rename files on the hard disk, change
attributes of files the hard disk, or search
for files matching a particular pattern.
In addition, you can configure the backup and restore options including source drives and destination, as well as files to include/exclude. You can also set your display preferences for files to be displayed.
                    ~~~
 Master Directory Tree
This appears on the left side of the window.
 Directory Tree
Logged Drives
C:\
BU
MASTERS
DOS
The Directory Tree list box enables you to navigate directories and drives by using the selecting bar and pressing Enter. The files in the currently highlighted directory are displayed on the right in the files
window. e
You can navigate to a particular directory by typing in the first few letters of a directory. For example, suppose you have 2 directories WF and WINDOWS. Pressing "W" will take the highlight to the WF directory. Pressing "I" will then take you to the WINDOWS directory. Pressing the backspace key will remove the "I" and take you back to the WF directory.
Marking a particular directory will mark all files in all directories below. So marking the directory BU will also mark all files in the MASTERS directory. Tagging however does not work at the directory level. Y
You can switch between the directory window and the files window by use of the TAB key.
                    ~~~
 File List
This appears on the right side of the window.
 File List
 data.1(0) b--- 3,727 8/11/93 18:05:42 .a..
 data.1(1) +--- 4,312 4/06/94 12:15:12 .a..
 jul.wf(0) b--r 2,134 2/04/94 19:30:42 r...
temp.1(0) b-dr 1,512 5/05/94 11:08:06 ....
zx.sdf(0) bx-- 9,345 9/01/94 12:22:06 .a..
The list appears in sorted order, but you can change the sequence by using the display
preferences menu option. Only files which match the currently active selection criteria on this dialog will be displayed (ie System/Hidden files may not display, depending on the option settings). Also note that files will not display if they are hidden by the global or local file masks.
The columns in the list are the tag, the file name and cycle (in brackets), the marks, the file size, date and time and attributes.
The tag appears at the left of the file name, and indicates that you wish to perform file management functions such as copying, deleting or renaming. *
The number after the file name is the file
cycle. This starts with zero, and increments if there are more than one cycle of the file on the backup. In the example above, DATA.1 is on the backup, but there is an updated copy on the hard disk. This copy is cycle 1, and will be added to the backup. K
The next column is the marks. A dash "-" indicates the absence of a mark. M
The first position is the Backup Status. A "b" indicates the file is on the backup, while a "+" indicates it will be added to the backup. If you abort a backup, you may see an "i" denoting that this file was in the process of being backup up, but the backup is incomplete. You can toggle this mark with the Mark
Backup command. T
The second position is the archive status. An archived file is one that is on backup, but has been deleted from the hard disk. You mark such a file as archived to stop Backup Fugue from marking it for restore when it relogs the hard disk. An "x" indicates the file is an archive. You can toggle this mark with the Mark
archive command.
The third position is the query/delete status. A "d" indicates the file should be deleted from the backup. You may occasionally see a "?" if Backup Fugue detects that the file has been damaged. This indicates that it may not be possible to restore the file. In these circumstances you should mark the file for deletion, and then back it up again.  You can toggle this mark with the Mark
deletion command.
The fourth position is the Restore status. An "r" here indicates that the file has been marked for restoration in the next restore run.  You can toggle this mark with the Mark
restore command.
As with the directory window, you can locate a particular file by typing in the first few letters of the file name. Suppose you have 3 files ALARM.WAV, ARCHES.BMP and ARGYLE.BMP, then typing in "a" will position on the file ALARM.WAV. If you then type in "r", the highlight will position on ARCHES.BMP, and typing "g" following will position the highlight on ARGYLE.BMP. Pressing Backspace will delete the last letter match and take you back to the previous one (ie "ar" and match on ARCHES.BMP).
Of course, if you sort the list by date instead, the letter matching process will still search down the list for the next matching letter, but the matches won't necessarily be in strict alphabetic order.
                    ~~~
 Current Directory Data
This appears underneath the directory and files sections of the window.
It displays the name of the currently highlighted directory, the total number of files in the directory and their total size, the total number of files that match the display/selection criteria, and the total number of files that have been tagged.
                    ~~~
 Backup Statistics
This appears in the bottom left of the window.
It displays statistics about the current backup - the number of volumes used, total number of files on the backup, and their total size, and the number of files marked as archived.
It also displays statistics about the current state of the hard disk(s) after logging them. The number of files requiring to be added to the backup is shown, as well as the number of files needing to be restored from the backup.
                    ~~~
 Source Statistics
This appears in the bottom right of the window.
It shows the number of hard disks to be included in the backup, as well as the total number and size of the files, and the number and total size of files matching the selection criteria.
                    ~~~
 Marking
Marking is concerned with the backup and restore process. In the Master Backup Index window, marks appear to the right of the file name.
You can mark a file for Backup, mark a file as archived, mark a file for deletion from the backup, or mark a file for restoration from the backup. Z
Marking should not be confused with tagging which is used for file management functions.
                    ~~~

Window to indicate the progress of the restore process. |
Backup Fugue will restore all files marked for restoration. Files can be marked for restoration manually or automatically.
You will be prompted to enter each disk required in sequence. Backup Fugue will display the required disk number and will check to ensure that the correct disk is inserted.
If Backup Fugue has a problem restoring any file, it will be skipped, and you will be prompted to confirm this. You can re-process these files later.
Each file will be restored to the drive and directory it was in when it was backed up. However, if this is not desired (for example to check an archived version against the current version), you can set the Restore
Path and then all files will be restored underneath this path.
                    ~~~
 Configure
Destination for Restore
It allows you to select the destination drive and directory for the restore process. All restored files will be created under the drive and directory you select, with the original tree structure intact. +

 Configure
Source Drives
This option allows you to nominate the hard disk drives that you will backup. You will be prompted with a dialog
box to enter the drives. You must have a Backup
Window open or the command will be ignored.
The nominated drives will all be tracked in the same Backup
Master
Index file. The drives specified here will not have any effect until you use the Action
Relog option to relog the specified drives.
 Configure
Backup Destination
This option allows you to nominate the destination for the backup. You will be prompted to enter the destination. The value you enter will be saved with the Backup Master
Index file.
 Configure
Verify
This option allows you to nominate whether or not writes to the backup will be verified.
What physically happens depends on the device and your BIOS, but the essentials are that the data written is then reread by DOS and compared with the original. This happens before Backup Fugue is notified that the write is complete.
If the data does not match, Backup Fugue will receive an error result. The program will then notify you of the error, and give you the option to Abort the process, or move the data to somewhere else on the disk. The offending area will be marked as BAD so it will not be used again.

This option allows you to recreate a damaged backup volume.
You will be prompted with a dialog window that allows you to nominate the volume of the current backup to be recreated. If you do not have a Master
Backup
Index loaded, you will not be able to use this command.
All the files that were originally backed up to the volume will be marked as incomplete, and will be backed up again when you next run a backup. When the backup process comes to that volume, you will be prompted to enter a blank formatted volume. f
Please note that any files that have been physically deleted from the hard disk cannot be recreated.
                    ~~~
 Action
Inspect Volume (Alt-I)
This option allows you to display any files on the volume in the destination drive. It is also available from the Load
volume prompt. You are advised to use this option before using either the erase or format options.
 Action
Format Volume (Alt-M)
This option allows you to select the format command you wish to use from a list, and then will run that command to format the volume in the destination drive. \
If you are not sure the volume is unused, you are advised to use the inspect option first. @
This option is also available from the Load
volume prompt.
 Action
Erase Volume (Alt-E)
This option allows you to erase a volume in the destination drive. You are strongly advised to inspect the volume first.
Since this option uses DOS, it depends on the implementation of DOS. In general, it will fail if the volume contains directories or "read-only" files. In these circumstances, you should use the format option instead.
 Action
Relog source (Alt-L)
This option reads the nominated source disks, and enters their contents into the Master Backup Index you have loaded. Files will be matched by name against the Index to determine which ones need to be backup up, and which are candidates for restoration. -

 Tagging
Tagging is concerned with the file management functions. In the Master Backup Index window, the tag appears to the left of the file name, and displays as a "
" character when ON
You tag a file by pressing the spacebar. You can also tag multiple files by the Tag
wildcard command. Tags can also be reversed or cleared for multiple files.
You can then perform file management functions on the hard disk such as view
files using several viewers, associate programs with the files and then launch the programs on those files, or even launch the files themselves if they are programs.
You can copy files from one directory to another, delete files from the hard disk, rename files on the hard disk, or change
attributes of files the hard disk. a
Tagging should not be confused with marking which is used for file backup / restore management.

 Configure
Local file Masks
Local file masks apply to a particular branch of a directory tree, starting with the highlighted directory. They are applied AFTER the Global
masks not instead of them. If you alter Local file masks, the display of files in the highlighted directory may change as the new file masks are applied.
All the directories that are children of the highlighted one will also have the same masks applied. DOS wild cards (* and ?) are allowed. The list is always processed from left to right.
Files are included by putting in the file mask (eg *.*  or *.dat). Files are excluded by placing a "-" in front (eg -*.bak). The changes will be saved with the Master Backup Index.
The Local file mask is initially blank, which means only the global file mask is applied. To remove a file mask you entered previously, blank it out. %
An example local file mask could be
 -*.exe -*.com -*.dll
if you don't want to back up files with these extensions.
To stop a local file mask set from applying to child directories, go to the child and enter in a file mask that reverses the parent's local file mask. (eg parent has -*.com -*.exe *.dat, so the child should have *.com *.exe -*.dat) [
Remember, you can always see the results of your file specs by browsing the files window. 4

Global file Masks
This option configures the file masks that apply to every file on every source disk in the backup. ]
To configure setting for particular drives or directories, use the local
masks option.
The list is always processed left to right. DOS wildcard characters (* and ?) can be used. The normal file mask includes matching files in the backup. To exclude files, precede the entry with a minus ("-") sign. ,
The standard default global file masks is:
 *.* -*.bak -*.bk! -*.~* -*.tmp
The "*.*" includes all files, the other masks exclude various types of backup files and temporary files.
Once you enter your masks, they are reapplied to the files, and you should see the contents of the files window change to reflect your changes. The changes will be saved with the Master Backup Index. :
Please note that the Global file masks may not be blank. [

Compress file Masks
Backup Fugue normally compresses all files added to the backup, using standard ZIP compression algorithm.
However, some files are already compressed, and will not compress further. You can save time by excluding these files from the compression. '
The default compression file mask is:
 *.* -*.zip -*.lzh -*.arc
which means compress everything except those files with the extensions .ZIP, .LZH and .ARC u
If you find the backup takes too long because of the compression, you can turn it off by changing the file mask to:
  -*.*
although this will use more disks (probably at least 2 or 3 times as many disks). R

Integrity Check
This option allows you to check the integrity of a backup volume. You must have a backup Master
Index loaded for this to function. 9
You will be prompted to enter the volume to be checked.
Backup Fugue will read the volume, and check that there are no CRC errors on the data. It will also compare the data with the Master Index to ensure that the index matches the volume contents. R
If a volume passes this test, you can be confident that you can restore from it.

Overwrite
This option allows you to specify whether Backup Fugue will overwrite files during the restore process. W
If the option is ON, the program will overwrite existing files without informing you.
If the option is OFF, you will be prompted with the file name, and asked to confirm whether to overwrite or not. The file will only be overwritten if you select YES. |
You change the value by selecting this option and pressing ENTER. The value will change from ON to OFF, or from OFF to ON.

Cycles to Keep
Backup Fugue has the ability to keep multiple versions or cycles of files in the backup file. Each cycle is identified by a CYCLE number in brackets following the file name: u
   tasks.dat(0)     1,902     16/08/94
   tasks.dat(1)     2,137     16/09/94
   tasks.dat(2)     2,301     16/10/94
Zero is always the oldest cycle, with newer cycles running in number sequence. This is very useful if you keep changing files, but want to be able to keep track of the history.
You can configure the value from 1 to any number up to 64. The factory setting is 1. The value you set applies to all files in the Backup Master
Index, and is saved with that file. You can have different settings for different Master Indexes, if you need. 2

Rebuild BU Master Index
The Backup Master
Index tells Backup Fugue where all the backed up files are. If this file becomes damaged, then the program is unable to restore from the corresponding backup. s
However, using this option it is possible to recreate the damaged file from the backup if the backup is complete.

Prune & Graft
If you physically move files around on your hard disk (without using Backup Fugue to do this), you will find that the backup index no longer corresponds. The backup files will be marked for restore, while the actual files on disk will be marked for adding.
This option allows you to tell Backup Fugue that this is what has happened, and to permit the data in the Backup
Master
Index to be changed. The data on the hard disk is NOT changed.
From the files window, only the tagged files in the window, or the highlighted file if none are tagged, will be moved to the new location. n
From the directory window, the highlighted directory AND ALL ITS CHILDREN will be moved to the new location.
You will be prompted with a directory
tree dialog box, which will allow you to select a physical directory on you hard disk(s). The program will modify the backup Master Index to reflect this.
For flexibility, the program does not require that the destination files actually exist, but you will be warned if they do not, and given the option of cancelling the move.
If the files exist at the designated destination, then Backup Fugue will check by files that correspond by name. Those that have been modified will be marked for backup, while those that have not been changed will be marked as On backup.
If you have multiple versions, then be sure to tag all versions, otherwise those versions not tagged will remain where they are.

 *.*  represents all files
 *.   represents all files without an extension
 my*.txt  represents all files starting with "my"
      and having the extension "txt"
 ??.* represents all files with 1 or 2 character
      names and any extension (or no extension)
 Starting From

 How to make a backup
This topic describes how to make a backup of your hard disk. It assumes that you have loaded the program without any parameters.
 You should see:
 The menu across the top of the screen
   with a clock in the top right corner
 A copyright notice in the middle of the
   screen
 A list of keyboard shortcuts across the
   bottom of the screen
 Steps in Setting up a Backup
 1. You need to create a new Master
Index
    file:
    - Press the "ALT" key and the "F" key
      together. The Files menu will
      activate. "New
Master
file" will
      be highlighted
    - Press Enter or the "N" key. This will
      create a new Master
Index
window
 2. This window will currently display some
    statistics of zero, a <no files> comment,
    and a logged drives list of ":\"
    You now need to configure this for your
    hard disk.
    - Press "ALT" and "C" together to activate
      the configuration
    - now select "Source
drives" by pressing
      Enter or "S"
    - when the source drives dialog box is
      displayed, type in C (if you want to
      back up your C drive) and press Enter.
      (If you want to back up more than one
      hard disk, type in the letters of each
      drive and then press Enter.)
 3. Now you need to select the destination
    for the backup.
    - Press "ALT" and "C" together to activate
      the configuration
    - now select "Backup
Destination" by pressing
      Enter or "B".
    - when the Backup Destination dialog box is
      displayed, type in A or B (if you want to
      backup to floppy, otherwise type in the
      first letter of the drive you wish to
      use) and press Enter
 4. You should check the Global
masks to
    ensure that all the files you want will
    be included, and the ones you don't want
    be excluded.
    - Press "ALT" and "C" together to activate
      the configuration
    - now select "Global file masks" by
      pressing Enter or "G".
    - when the Global file masks dialog box is
      displayed, you can change the displayed
      masks, and press Enter to accept, but
      for now you should probably leave the
      defaults as they are, and press ESC.
