- Backup Fugue for Dos v1.00 README file
- ════════════════════════════════════════
-
- Welcome to Backup Fugue for DOS, the Premier backup program for PCs!
-
- Power failures, hardware or software problems, or user mistakes can all result
- in data loss. Knowing you have an up to date backup means you can get things
- up and running normally in a short space of time.
-
- Until now, keeping a backup up to date meant juggling with in increasing
- number of backup sets, while restoring files meant restoring obsolete copies
- of files from older backup sets just so you go on to restore from the later
- backup set.
-
- With Backup Fugue, all this has changed. You take a full backup only once.
- After that, Backup Fugue backs up only files which have changed. All files are
- written to the one backup set, making it easy to find them later. You can keep
- multiple versions of files if you desire, and obsolete files are deleted from
- the backup and the space reused.
-
- Browse the Backup Master Index tree to see what is on your backup. Fine tune
- the selection process by masking out files, or even mark individual files to
- be excluded or included!
-
- Backup Fugue uses compression to save space on the backup. The compression
- uses industry standard methods, and achieves both high compression ratios and
- speed.
-
- Backup Fugue can handle any number of hard disks, and any size hard disk
- (subject to memory constraints). The backup destination can be any size
- removable disk, including Syquest and Bernouli removable hard disks. The
- program can also backup across networks.
-

- BACKUP FUGUE QUICK START GUIDE
- ══════════════════════════════

- backup your hard disk C:
-
- If you have a 286 or better, type in:

- BBS Files
- ─────────
- If you have the BBS version of Backup Fugue, then all you received was
- the file BUPRO.ZIP or BUPRO.EXE, and all the files have been
- archived into this file. In this case you need to extract all the
- files to either your hard disk or your floppy disk before you can
- run SETUP:
-
- From DOS, make a new directory for the program. Then copy the file
- to your hard disk and extract the files:
-
- for .ZIP type in PKUNZIP -E BUPRO
-
- for .EXE type in BUPRO
-
- Once you have extracted all the files, you can delete the BUPRO archive
- file from your hard disk.

-
- Shareware
- ─────────
-
- Shareware is an exciting marketing method which allows you to try top quality
- software before you pay the author. With shareware, you cannot be disappointed
- spending money for a program that's not right for you. The small fee you pay
- for the shareware copy covers only the duplication and distribution costs, and
- permits you to evaluate the program.
-
- If your copy of Backup Fugue didn't come with a printed manual, then you have
- the shareware version. If you continue the use the shareware program after a
- reasonable evaluation period (we allow 42 days) you must register the program
- by sending Fugue Software the registration fee described below. Please refer
- to the file ORDER.FRM for more information on the registration fee. If you
- have a local agent, they will have modified the ORDER.FRM file to reflect
- local prices.
-
- This payment entitles you to technical support, printed manual, bonus programs
- and more. Your payment supports the authors, allowing us to continue writing
- newer and better shareware programs.
-
- Shareware versions may be freely copied and given to others, provided all the
- files are copied, and the recipient is made aware that the programs are
- shareware, and informed that they are required to pay the registration fee if
- they use the program past the evaluation period.
-
- Fugue Software is a member of the Association of Shareware Professionals, and
- this program complies with the standards of the Association. This is your
- guarantee of receiving a quality program.
-
- Registered versions are "fully paid up" copies of a program. Normally they
- come with printed documentation. As a general rule, they may not be copied or
- shared around for evaluation - that is the purpose of the shareware version.
