The Estimator
Copyright (C) Dexter (Chip) Orange, January 1988.
The Estimator is an utility designed
to be used in conjunction with The Backer to allow
you to determine ahead of time how many disks will be needed for a
particular backup. The syntax is:
ESTIMATOR <source> [ALL|NEW]
<source> is the directory/drive to be estimated,
and NEW/ALL indicates whether all files
in <source> or only those whose archive bit hasn't ben set are
to be backed up.
You should run The Estimator immediately before
performing the backup.
The Estimator, like The Backer and ArchStatus, is freely
distributable for non-commercial purposes. It may be distributed with
commercial hard drives as long as no extra charge is made for it.
