- That's a simple backup program to save your hard disc on floppy
- discs. I don't expect anybody to use it seriously, but I do.
- For large data you better use a CD ROM. But for anybody who wants
- to create a backup program have a look at the source code. The
- most annoying thing is the user interface, known as GUI. So I used
- the powerful Interface language of AMOS Professional. You also need
- the AMCAF extension for many commands, or you write library calls
- yourself.
-
- Features:
- ~~~~~~~~~
- - backup data onto DD or HD floppies
- - redirection to hard disc for a faster backup
- - backup selection tree: select complete dirs or single files
- - restore simulation for testing data written on floppies
- - recoverable restoration if data of one file are corrupt
- - savable history list for backup and restoration
- - simple usage, also without reading the guide
- - with source for interested programmers
-
- Things TO DO:
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- - better split up files into 64K blocks to support large files on
- low memory systems, which may increases compressed size
- - add multitasking to do other things while backup/restore operation
- works in the background
