- ==============================================================
- 1 - Using the ZipMail Add-in.
- ==============================================================
-
- ZipMail uses standard MAPI commands to communicate with your
- mail client. The success depends on how well your mail client
- interprets these commands. (Microsoft Exchange handles them with
- no problem).
-
- Zipmail requires the file MAPI32.DLL to run, and this is not
- included with ZipMail. It should already be in your WINDOWS or
- SYSTEM folder if you have mail software installed. If ZipBack
- cannot find this file, the Mail option will be disabled. However
- if you start ZipMail from your Start menu, you will receive an
- error message when you try to send the message if MAPI32.DLL is
- not available.
-
-
- ==============================================================
- 2 - Using the Send-To Menu.
- ==============================================================
-
- When you send files which have long file names to ZipBack from
- the Send-To menu, the Source folders list may show the shortened
- version of the folder name under certain circumstances. The file
- name is not affected.
-
- This has no ill effects on the operation of the program, and as
- soon as you switch to another folder and back the long name is
- restored.
-
- See the Help file for more details on using the Send-To menu.
-
-
- ==============================================================
- 3 - Un-Installing ZipBack Pro.
- ==============================================================
-
- 1. On your Start menu select Settings then Control Panel.
-
- 2. In Control Panel, double-click Add/Remove programs.
-
- 3. In the list of installed programs select ZipBack Pro.
-
- 4. Click Add/Remove.. to remove it from your ssytem.
-
- You will be asked if you want to remove any 'Shared'
- components. In general it is safe to do this, however if you
- have installed any applications which do not register use of
- these components they could fail. The safest way is to leave
- the Shared components in place.
-
- During removal you may also be told that some components
- cannot be removed. these are any option sets or configuration
- files you have created. To remove these:
-
- 5. Once the removal program has finished open My Computer.
-
- 6. Select the ZipBack program folder and press Delete.
-
- This removes the option sets and any remaining files.
-
-
- ==============================================================
- 4 - Using Set Wizard to create Option Sets.
- ==============================================================
-
- You can set up ZipBack to automatically archive or back-up any
- set of files from your Start menu. As an example, we'll create
- an Option Set to back-up our daily-updated files.
-
- 1. In the main ZipBack window click Sets, then in the Option
- and Back-up Sets window click Run Set Wizard.
-
- 2. Type a name for the set, such as DAILY, and a description
- such as 'Daily Back-up'. Then click Next.
-
- 3. Click 'I want to select individual files...', and the File
- Selector window opens.
-
- 4. In File Selector click on the files you want from any drive
- or folder, adding them to the top window. To add all the
- files in a folder click the 'All files in <folder>' button.
-
- 5. Click OK, then back in the main ZipBack window change the
- Target drive to A: (or your back-up drive) and enter a new
- file name, for example 'My Daily'. The default name is
- 'Selected'. Then turn on the Update or Add New Files
- Only checkbox.
-
- 6. Go back to Set Wizard and click Next. Leave both the check-
- boxes ticked, and click Next again. Then click Close.
-
- 7. Exit from ZipBack, and you'll see the new shortcut in an
- Explorer window. Close this window then open your Start
- menu, select Programs then Back-up Sets. Make sure you have
- a disk in the target drive and click Daily Back-up. You'll
- see ZipBack load, and the files being backed up.
-
- 8. When complete, ZipBack closes down again (unless you run out
- of disk space, or an error occurs). Note that if you are
- using an evaluation copy, you'll have to click the Continue
- button.
-
-
- ==============================================================
- 5 - Where is the main Options Window?
- ==============================================================
-
- No, we didn't hide it on purpose. In the main ZipBack window
- open the 'About' tab and click the Options button.
-
-
- ==============================================================
- 6 - The list boxes go crazy when I press an arrow key.
- ==============================================================
-
- By default, ZipBack is optimized for using a mouse when selecting
- from list boxes, as this is the way most people work. If you want
- to use the cursor (arrow) keys to move around a list box:
-
- 1. Open the 'About' tab in the main ZipBack window and click the
- Options button.
-
- 2. In the 'general' page turn on the Use the Cursor
- Keys in Directory and File List Boxes option.
-
-
- ==============================================================
- 7 - The 'Zip' button is grayed out and disabled.
- ==============================================================
-
- Only one zip or unzip process can be running at any time. Once
- you start the process, the 'Zip' button is disabled until it is
- complete. To run concurrent zip or unzip processes you can start
- another instance of ZipBack from your Start menu.
-
- NOTE: The free 'Unzip Client' version cannot be used to zip
- files, so the 'Zip' button is disabled until you select an
- existing zip file as the Source.
-
-
- ==============================================================
- 8 - The right mouse button doesn't work!
- ==============================================================
-
- Yes, you're right. We looked long and hard at what extra
- features we could offer through the right mouse button. With a
- few minor exceptions we could not see any that gave significant
- increase in ease of use, so rather than include them just for
- cosmetic reasons we left them out altogether.
-
-
- ==============================================================
- 9 - Installing ZipBack on Windows NT
- ==============================================================
-
- The setup program will not place a short-cut icon for ZipBack
- Pro in the Send To menu when installing to Windows NT 4.0. You
- can, however, install your own Send To short-cut after ZipBack
- has been installed. The ZipBack Help file contains instructions
- on how to do this - look for 'Using the Send To menu'.
-
-
- ==============================================================
-
- If you've got any suggestions - or any comments on ZipBack
- generally - we'd love to hear from you. Email or post to the
- address below...
