- ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR FASTBACK PLUS USERS:
-
-
- This version of Fastback Plus (1.01) has the following improvements over
- version 1.00:
-
- 1. Increased estimate and backup speed during partial backups. You
- will note that the time required to perform an estimate, do the actual
- backup, and reset archive flags has been greatly reduced. The
- difference in time is likely to be more pronounced on computers with
- slower hard disks.
-
- 2. Slightly less memory (about 5k) is required to run the program.
-
- 3. A low probablility of occurance compression/expansion bug has been
- corrected. It is unlikely that you you have encountered this data
- dependent problem, because only three people out of roughly 20,000 users
- have reported it. This version of Fastback Plus has a 99% chance of
- automatically restoring disks backed up incorrectly with version 1.00.
- If the disks cannot be automatically restored, it is likely that we can
- restore them manually.
-
- 4. The amount of time required to identify that a disk is unformatted
- during disk change time has been reduced by 33%.
-
- 5. The feature has been added allowing restoration of high speed floppies
- containing error correction to a normal DOS drive path and restore source.
- This allows restoring error corrected backups to floppies.
-
- 6. Some incompatibilities with the new PS/2 series computers were
- corrected.
