- This weekend I wanted to repartion my IIgs's 80MB disk, so I did the following:
-
- 1) Ran the Archiver (came with System 6.0)
-
- 1a) Did a archive files on my first parition
- 1b) Did a select all files (OA-A)
- 1c) Changed disk many times
-
- 1d) Repeated 1a-1c for other two partitions
-
- 2) Repartitioned the disk
-
- 3) Restored partitioned from just taken archives
-
- 4) Discovered that the Archiver had *NOT* archived *some* of the applications
- that were on the desktop, even though it verified the disk and gave **NO**
- errors on either the archive or restore operations.
-
- 5) Used many words that I should not have used.
-
- Is this a known bug?
-
- Is there a *reliable* archiver/backup program that should be used?
-
- Thanks,
