About this manual
=================
This is HardBack release 1.10, manual release 1.14
Last updated 26th October 1996
This manual is divided into several sections:
1 Introduction
What HardBack does, and installation instructions.
2 HardBack in use
An in-depth guide to all the features provided by HardBack.
The two programs, Backup and Restore will be covered
separately, since they differ substantially in their operation.
3 Other matters
Points which are relevant to both programs, some of a more
general nature.
4 Appendix
A: Information on how to register to receive the full
version of HardBack.
B: Copyright information etc.
This manual assumes you are fairly familiar with the desktop of the
Acorn, and that you know about choosing menu options, dragging
icons etc. If you are not familiar with this read the Welcome Guide
and User Guide supplied with your computer first.
This manual is stored in two formats, text and Impression. The text
versions are taken directly from the Impression copy so please ignore any
references to diagrams etc. If you really want to see the diagrams,
Shift-double click on the Impression file icon and rummage around. The
Impression file is in Impression Style format, so should be readable by
Style, Publisher and Publisher Plus but not Junior, or Impresion II. Users
of these two packages will have to use the text version. If you are using
Edit to read this text you should use Expand Tabs to align it properly.
All the screenshots in this manual have been taken from Risc OS
3.5 in high resolution mode 27. In low resolution modes, and on
other versions of Risc OS, especially version 2, some of the
windows may look slightly different. This has no effect on how
HardBack works.
Release Notes
=============
All versions are now StrongARM compatible.
All versions of HardBack have now been tested on Risc OS 2, and no problems
have been found.
When running under Risc OS 3.5 and above, a slight problem occurs with
respect to errors. Sometimes, if an error has occured during the backup
procedure, and you try to stop the backup procedure, Risc OS gets a bit
confused and thinks that the message asking whether you want to end the
backup actually relates to the error that has just occured. As a result of
this, it puts up an error box saying that something has gone seriously wrong
with HardBack, but this in fact is in response to the query, and if you click
on Describe, it will show up the message. The moral of this story is that
you should always click on Describe to see if anything has gone seriously
wrong, or if Risc OS has got the wrong idea.
