Backup Fugue for Dos v1.00 README file
════════════════════════════════════════
Welcome to Backup Fugue for DOS, the Premier backup program for PCs!
Power failures, hardware or software problems, or user mistakes can all result
in data loss. Knowing you have an up to date backup means you can get things
up and running normally in a short space of time.
Until now, keeping a backup up to date meant juggling with in increasing
number of backup sets, while restoring files meant restoring obsolete copies
of files from older backup sets just so you go on to restore from the later
backup set.
With Backup Fugue, all this has changed. You take a full backup only once.
After that, Backup Fugue backs up only files which have changed. All files are
written to the one backup set, making it easy to find them later. You can keep
multiple versions of files if you desire, and obsolete files are deleted from
the backup and the space reused.
Browse the Backup Master Index tree to see what is on your backup. Fine tune
the selection process by masking out files, or even mark individual files to
be excluded or included!
Backup Fugue uses compression to save space on the backup. The compression
uses industry standard methods, and achieves both high compression ratios and
speed.
Backup Fugue can handle any number of hard disks, and any size hard disk
(subject to memory constraints). The backup destination can be any size
removable disk, including Syquest and Bernouli removable hard disks. The
program can also backup across networks.
BACKUP FUGUE QUICK START GUIDE
══════════════════════════════
To enable you to start backing up in the minimum time possible, refer to the
file BUQUICK.DOC which will guide you through setting up and taking a backup.
There is also a section describing how to restore your data if necessary.
For those of you who don't want to read even that file, assuming you want to
backup your hard disk C:
If you have a 286 or better, type in:
BU386 C:
If you have only an XT, type in
BU4D C:
If you want to use a destination drive other than A:, press Alt C followed by
B and type in the destination drive.
Press F5 to start the backup. Make sure you have a plentiful supply of disks
on hand.

BBS Files
─────────
If you have the BBS version of Backup Fugue, then all you received was
the file BUPRO.ZIP or BUPRO.EXE, and all the files have been
archived into this file. In this case you need to extract all the
files to either your hard disk or your floppy disk before you can
run SETUP:
From DOS, make a new directory for the program. Then copy the file
to your hard disk and extract the files:
for .ZIP type in PKUNZIP -E BUPRO
for .EXE type in BUPRO
Once you have extracted all the files, you can delete the BUPRO archive
file from your hard disk.
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 your copy of Backup Fugue didn't come with a printed manual, then you have
the shareware version. If you continue the use the shareware program after a
reasonable evaluation period (we allow 42 days) you must register the program
by sending Fugue Software the registration fee described below. Please refer
to the file ORDER.FRM for more information on the registration fee. If you
have a local agent, they will have modified the ORDER.FRM file to reflect
local prices.
This payment entitles you to technical support, printed manual, bonus programs
and more. Your payment supports the authors, allowing us 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.
Fugue Software is a member of the Association of Shareware Professionals, and
this program complies with the standards of the Association. This 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.
