FileBack PC 3.2 Beta - May 17, 2000 Release =========================================== Thank you for your recent purchase or taking the time to evaluate FileBack PC. You have selected one of the premiere file backup software utilities available for Windows 95 and NT. Installation Instructions (Full Download) ========================================= After unzipping the .ZIP or .EXE archive, locate the SETUP.EXE program file and double-click to start it. Follow the on-screen instructions to install the FileBack PC program file. If you have a previous version of FileBack PC installed on your computer you should install the new copy in the same location as the old copy. Note: You must close any previous version of FileBack PC before attempting to copy the new program file. Installation Instructions (Update Download) =========================================== If you have a copy of FileBack PC already running, shut it down before attempting to install the update. Once the old version has shut down, copy the files from the update archive (.ZIP file) over the top of your older version, making sure to replace each existing file. Once the newer version has been copied, you may double-click on FileBack.exe to being using it. Automatic Startup ================= Previous versions of FileBack PC were set to auto-load at Windows startup by default. With this installation, this has changed; in order to set FileBack PC to auto-load, navigate to the "Options" page and select one of the "Load at Windows Startup" options. If you later decide to uninstall FileBack PC, you will need to turn these options off before uninstalling the software to prevent an error at Windows startup afterward. (Unfortunately, the uninstallation software being used does not take care of this situation.) A note on beta products ======================= This release of FileBack PC is in beta status. This means that it has not yet been tested thoroughly and may still contain bugs. Maximum Output Software disclains all responsibility from damage caused by this product. If you encounter what you believe to be a bug, please send a thorough description to Maximum Output Software at bugs@maxoutput.com. We will do our best to rectify the situation. Note other note regarding beta status: the help file for the beta version has not been completed. Rather than not supply a help file, the help file for version 3.1b is included. This beta does not expire. After December 1, 1999, however, it will begin to report that it is becoming old, and suggest that you download a newer version. For users of the trial version ============================== The trial version of FileBack PC includes all of the functionality of the registered network enabled version. The only differences between the trial version and a registered network version are (1) a two backup entry limit, and (2) a limit of 1000 files may be backed up in each session in the trial version. If FileBack is registered as a standalone version the network functionality will be disabled. This will prevent backups from being processed to or from network drives, and will disable the network connection restoration and e-mail features as well. For users of Version 3.0x ========================= With this version the registration code format has changed. Though old registration codes will not work with this version, if you install version 3.1 over the top of a previous version the registration information will be updated for you. If you were issued a registration code for version 3.0 (these codes were 26 alphabetic characters) and do not have a copy of your "FileBack Registration.dat" file, please contact Maximum Output Software. Please provide the original name to which the software was registered, and the approximate date of registration so we can provide you with a newer registration code. We highly recommend that you make a backup copy of your registration file, "FileBack Registration.dat," which is located in the FileBack PC program directory. If you ever need to reinstall FileBack PC you will need this file or your registration later. For users of all previous versions ================================== The configuration file format has changed with this version. If you are considering going back to a previous version we highly recommend making a backup of the FileBack.FBCfg file before running the newer version.
