- Unlike Win95/98, you must make an ERS bootdisk to boot to DOS
- in order to restore from ERS ME backups.
-
- Simply make the backups by clicking the appropriate button.
- Click the Notes Check box and add backup notes if you wish.
-
- Select and add either the 3Day or 7Day rotary backup to the Startup
- folder. By doing so, there after on each startup, Auto backup will check
- backup time and date, will pop up if your last backup is more than
- 22 hours old (optional).
- There is an automatic 50 seconds time delay (optional), you can cancel
- the backup if you wish, or bypass the 50 seconds delay by clicking the
- "Backup Now" button.
- To change default backup interval or delay time, in ERS 9x click
- Options\Change 7 Day or 3 Day Autobackup Settings.
- Auto backup doesn't use resources, and it will pop up only if your
- backup is 22 hours old.
- Increase the delay seconds, if you have programs that run on startups,
- such as Antivirus and could clash with ERS.
-
- Click Options\Add other files to backups, there you can add 3 extra
- files of your choice to system files backups.
- (system files backups are, 3 Day, 7 Day, BackupA, B and C)

- backups if you selected these files be restored with ERS.
-
- Select and add the Weekly backup to 3 Day or 7 Day by selecting one
- of the check boxes in ERS 9x and it will backup once every 8 days.
-
- Select to Add 3Wk rotary to the 3Day or 7Day, it will rotate three backups
- once every 8 days.
-
- Click Options\Zip Backups to zip backups if you wish, saves on hard disk
- space but it takes longer to do backup.
-
- Note: You can set auto backup interval as much as 70 hours, which
- will make the auto backup to backup once every three days instead
- of daily, making the 3Day spread to 9Day and the 7Day spread to
- 21Day rotary backups.
-

- to Windows.
-

- decided to go back to an older version of Windows.
-
- NOTE: A free ERS scheduler called Timer.exe is available for those who
- keep their computer on all the time.

- auto backup by making it point to AutoErs.exe.

- and Add to Startup", click Hide and it will place itself in the Systray.
