- 2.94
- ~~~~
- Added compression level 0 for those who wish to backup your drives with
- no compression.
-
- 2.93
- ~~~~
- Fixed a 'Data Lost' bug caused by an apparent bug in RISCOS OS_Args routines.
-
- 2.92
- ~~~~
- Added support for PC Partitions so !ClicBack can now backup files from within
- the partition itself. !Restore can also restore files to the partiton.
- THE DOS PARTITION MUST HAVE BEEN CREATED AND FORMATTED BEFORE YOU RESTORE.
- If you have installed that inferior OS, Windows, and have a VMM file then
- this will become corrupted!!! Well all that happens is that it isn't
- copied back in exactly the same location on the disc which upsets poor
- windows. But as it only contains dross I wouldn't worry to much anyway.
- Also it is constantly changing so exclude it from the backup.
-
- String comparisons for the include exclude lists have now been made case
- insensitive as some people prefer to create the script files by hand.
-
- Fixed the bug where !Restore would sometimes prompt for a disc beyond the
- backup set.
-
- 2.91
- ~~~~
- Fixed the following bugs:
- 1. ClicBack now checks for the case where the 'backup source' is also
- specified in the include list.
- 2. The inclusion of non-existant files in the include list is also checked
- for.
- 3. Several problems with the history list entries have been sorted out.
-
- Other changes.
- Added the reminder of the trial period to the startup banner for those
- unregistered users who have no concept of time.
-
- Added the 'package' icon for multiple excludes i.e. '*.scrap'
-
- Version 2.89 fixes the following bugs with version 2.75:
- a) Fatal internal error type 2 generated after writing to the first floppy disc.
- This was due to a divide by zero in the estimation routines if the amount of
- data backed up to the first floppy disc amounted to less than 1% of the total
- data.
- b) Fatal internal error type 5 occasionally generated. This was finally traced to
- the assembler version compression routines. These have now been removed.
- c) ClicBack$Temp system variable has been removed. It should not have been
- there in the first place but was to be incorporated in a later version.
- However, I would advise against running two copies of !ClicBack² at the
- same time as the temporary logfile’s that it creates will confuse the program.
- d) I have also added "Quick Delete" routines for floppy discs. This saves a lot
- of time if the discs that you are using for the backup contains lots of old
- programs etc.
- e) The calculation of the difference files has been modified along with the
- estimation of discs required. I have also changed the startup banner.
- f) The popup menus have now been standardised.
- g) Unknown keys are now passed back to the Wimp.
- h) Addition of the pause button to !Restore.
- i) Support for Jason Tibbeck's !Longfiles module added. See the !help file for
- more details.
- j) Under certain circumstances !Retrieve would not be copied to the final
- disc correctly.
- k) I have now added the 'Detect disc' option to both !ClicBack² and !Restore.
- With this option selected the program will automatically continue when
- a disc is inserted. With !ClicBack² this option will need to be used with
- caution because as soon as you insert a disc the program will wipe the disc
- clean, not the best idea in the world if you only wanted to check what was
- on it. In case you do wish to check the contents you will need to pause the
- program and then check the contents.
- When the program is polling for a disc you will notice that the drive light
- will flash once a second. It is perfectly safe to remove or insert a disc
- when this happens. Owners of newer machines might notice that the drive
- light does not flash until the old disc is removed, this is a feature of
- the disc drive as the computer knows that it is the old disc so does not
- bother to check it.
- l) Sorted out the alignment of icons so that the appear correct in the
- system font.
- m) The default level of data compression has been changed to level 3.
