- Registration Information
- ------------------------
-
- BakupWiz is a copyrighted program protected by both U.S. and
- international copyright law.
-
- BakupWiz is distributed as shareware, which means if you've
- downloaded it from a bulletin board or obtained it from a friend,
- you can try it out to determine whether it meets your needs and
- allow you to decide whether you'd like to keep it. Like all
- shareware, if you do decide to keep BakupWiz, you must pay a
- registration fee.
-
- BakupWiz is also distributed through normal retail channels. If you
- purchased a retail copy of BakupWiz, it includes a shareware disk
- which you can share with your friends and associates.
-
- If you obtained BakupWiz from a shareware disk vendor, an on-line
- computer service or bulletin board, a friend or colleague, or
- another similar source, you have an unregistered (trial) copy. You
- are authorized to use this copy without charge for a limited period
- of time under the terms of the BakupWiz license agreement. After
- this time is up, you must register and pay for BakupWiz to continue
- using it.
-
- The registration fee for a single copy of BakupWiz is $59 payable
- by MasterCard, VISA, or check in U.S. funds drawn on a U.S. bank.
- You may register via Compuserve EMAIL or MCI Mail if you are using
- MasterCard or VISA. Payment of this fee entitles you to:
-
- o A disk with the latest version of BakupWiz, registered to you.
-
- o One copy of the printed and bound BakupWiz manual.
-
- o A free upgrade to the next version of BakupWiz.
-
- o Technical support via electronic mail or telephone.
-
- Network, site, and corporate licenses are also available; contact
- PCX for more information.
-
- If you purchased a complete copy of BakupWiz with printed manual
- from a software dealer, your copy came with a registration card.
- Return this card promptly to PCX to ensure you are registered with
- us, and to receive technical support and notices of future
- upgrades. If you purchased BakupWiz directly from PCX and paid the
- full $59 fee, you are already registered, and no registration card
- is necessary.

- BakupWiz License Agreement
- --------------------------
-
-
- Copyright
- ---------
-
- The BakupWiz program and all other programs and documentation
- distributed or shipped with it are Copyright (c) 1987-1991 PCX, and
- are protected by U.S. and international copyright law. In the rest
- of this document, this collection of programs is referred to simply
- as "BakupWiz". You are granted a license to use your copy of
- BakupWiz only under the terms and conditions specified in this
- license agree ment.
-
-
- Definitions
- -----------
-
- BakupWiz is distributed in two forms. A "registered" copy of
- BakupWiz is a copy distributed on diskette, purchased from PCX or
- from a dealer, and which includes a serial number and the legend
- "licensed" or "registered" in the program sign-on message and on
- the diskette label. A "shareware" copy of BakupWiz is a copy
- distributed on diskette or via an electronic bulletin board,
- on-line service, or other electronic means, obtained from a
- shareware disk vendor, or obtained from another individual, and
- which displays the legend "shareware" in the program sign-on
- message, and in most cases on the diskette label as well (if
- applicable).
-
-
- Shareware Copies
- ----------------
-
- Shareware copies of BakupWiz are distributed to allow you to try
- the program before you pay for it. They are Copyright (c) 1987-1991
- PCX, and do not constitute "free" or "public domain" software. You
- may use a shareware copy of BakupWiz at no charge for a trial
- period of up to 21 days. If you wish to continue using BakupWiz
- after that period, you must purchase a registered copy. If you
- choose not to purchase a registered copy, you must stop using
- BakupWiz, though you may keep copies and pass them along to others.

-
- Registered Copies
- -----------------
-
- Registered copies of BakupWiz are distributed to those who have
- purchased them. Your registered copy of BakupWiz may only be used
- on the number of computers specified on the diskette label and
- program sign-on screen.
-
-
- Use of One Copy on Two Computers
- --------------------------------
-
- If you have a registered copy of BakupWiz which is licensed for use
- on a single computer, you may install it on two computers used at
- two different locations (for example, at work and at home),
- provided there is no possibility that the two computers will be in
- use at the same time, and provided that you yourself have purchased
- BakupWiz, or if BakupWiz was purchased by your employer, that you
- have your employer's explicit permission to install BakupWiz on two
- systems as described in this paragraph. The right to install one
- copy of BakupWiz on two computers is limited to copies originally
- licensed for use on a single computer, and may not be used to
- expand the number of systems covered under a multi-system license.
-
-
- Use on Networks or Multiple Systems
- ------------------------------------
-
- You may install your registered copy of BakupWiz on a computer
- attached to a network, or remove it from one computer and install
- it on a different one, provided there is no possibility that your
- copy will be used by more users than it is licensed for. A "user"
- is defined as one keyboard which is connected to a computer on
- which BakupWiz is installed, regardless of whether or not the user
- of the keyboard is aware of the installation or use of BakupWiz in
- the system.
-
-
- Making Copies
- -------------
-
- You may copy any version of BakupWiz for normal backup purposes,
- and you may give copies of the shareware version to other
- individuals, which they may also use and copy subject to the terms
- of this agreement. If you copy the shareware version of BakupWiz
- for others, you must include all of the files distributed with it,
- including this one. You may not give copies of the registered
- version to any other person for any purpose, and you may not make
- any copies of the printed and bound BakupWiz manual without
- explicit written permission from PCX.

- restrictions above and below, repair or replace any defective
- item(s), or refund the purchase price of any diskette and/or manual
- and/or any other parts or components of BakupWiz found to be
- defective, if such defect is the fault of PCX and not the result of
- misuse or abuse. Such a refund, repair, or replacement shall be
- your sole remedy for any defects, program error(s), or
- documentation error(s). In no event shall PCX be liable for any
- special, incidental, consequential, indirect, or punitive damages
- even if PCX has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
- PCX is not responsible for lost profits or revenue, loss of use of
- BakupWiz, loss of data, costs of recreating lost data, the costs of

-
- Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION
- =======================
-
- This guide is intended to make using BakupWiz as simple as
- possible. For best results, take a few minutes to acquaint yourself
- with the information in this guide.
-
-
- -----------------------
- Some Important Features
- -----------------------
-
- Thank you for purchasing BakupWiz!
-
- Is your vital data stored on your hard disk safe? What would happen
- to your business if your hard disk "crashed" and you lost most or
- all of your data? You say that you don't backup your hard disk very
- often because you are too busy and it takes too long? BakupWiz is
- your solution to all these problems.
-
- The benefits of owning BakupWiz are many:
-
- o Speed -- Your hard disk is backed up to diskette(s) quickly and
- reliably.
-
- o Flexibility -- You may back up all files on your hard disk, only
- selected files, or any files that have changed since a specified
- date and time.
-
- o Reliability -- BakupWiz has been thoroughly tested on many
- different machine configurations and operating conditions. For
- additional assurance, you may instruct BakupWiz to verify all the
- data that it has backed up.
-
- o Network Compatibility -- Novell Netware and any NETBIOS
- compatible networks are supported. The network's fileservers may
- be backed up without requiring the users to logout from the
- network. Under Netware, BakupWiz will backup and restore both
- file and network security information. Netware 286 and Netware
- 386 including Apple File Protocol are supported.
-
- o Security -- The security of your data is maximized by BakupWiz's
- unique password system. This system is so secure that we strongly
- recommend you devise a failsafe method of retaining your
- password.
-
- o Ease of Use -- BakupWiz is operated via a pull-down menu system.
- Help lines and message windows provide additional information.
-
- o Compatibility -- BakupWiz is 100% compatible with MSDOS/PCDOS

- Chapter 2 SOFTWARE INSTALLATION
- ================================
-
- This chapter will show you how to install BakupWiz onto your hard
- disk. It is not recommended that BakupWiz be operated from a floppy
- diskette.
-
-
- ------------------------------
- Distribution Diskette Contents
- ------------------------------
-
- The files on the diskette you have received are:
-
- o BW.EXE -- This is the BakupWiz's executable program file.
-
- o READ.ME -- Any changes, enhancements, and other important
- information about BakupWiz that may not be in the printed manual
- will be explained in this file. You should print this file NOW
- and read it before proceeding with the installation.
-
-
- ------------
- Installation
- ------------
-
- BakupWiz must be installed on your hard disk before use. Follow
- these simple instructions to perform the installation. Since the
- purpose of this section is to get you started, specific
- explanations of certain items will not be made until later
- chapters. Make sure that you are logged onto your hard drive and
- place the BakupWiz distribution diskette in your A: drive. Then
- give the command:
-
- ==> A:BW
-
- BakupWiz will now be loaded into memory and present its Main Menu
- to you. Press "C" to select Config. You will now be presented with
- a Configuration Screen. Press F10. A message window will appear:
-
- ==> Make changes permanent (y/n)
-
- Press the letter "Y". The Specify Paths edit screen is now
- displayed. You will see the Install from entry highlighted. Press
- DOWN-ARROW to highlight the Install to entry. Now type the full
- name of the directory where BakupWiz is to be installed followed by
- F10. For instance:
-
- ==> C:\BW

-
- Chapter 3 USING BakupWiz
- =========================
-
- In this chapter you will find an overview of what BakupWiz does,
- some background information on hard disks, strategies and different
- ways of backing up, and how to operate BakupWiz.
-
-
- --------------------
- Overview of BakupWiz
- --------------------
-
- BakupWiz is a program that allows you to copy all or part of the
- data on your hard disk to diskette(s). This will protect you from
- any loss of data should your hard disk develop a problem. BakupWiz
- is also extremely useful for archiving data and for fast data
- transfer.
-
-
- -----------------
- Why Make Backups?
- -----------------
-
- Since you are using BakupWiz, you probably already have an idea of
- why backups must be made. Unfortunately, many PC users never think
- about backing up their hard disks until a disaster occurs; and then
- it is too late! A cruel twist of fate seems to be that the more
- important the data is, the less often users back it up. We at PCX
- think that the reason for this lack of backup is that backups have
- always been thought of as cumbersome and time consuming. That is
- why we developed BakupWiz to be easy to use, reliable, and fast!
- Here are some of the reasons backups must be made.
-
-
- Hard Disk Problems
- ------------------
-
- Modern hard disks are very reliable and should give you trouble
- free service for many years. Unfortunately, like everything else in
- this world, problems may occur from time to time:
-
- o Head Crashes -- The mention of this phenomenom brings terror to
- hard disk users. What happens is that one or more of the magnetic
- heads, which normally "float" a few thousandths of an inch above
- the disk surface, have made physical contact with a disk surface.
- This condition is guaranteed to cause irretrievable loss of data
- unless rigorous backups have been made! Normally the hard disk
- will need to be replaced.
-
- o Power Outages -- A power failure or fluctuation during a hard

-
- disk write operation can also cause serious data corruption.
- While this condition is not nearly as serious as a head crash and
- usually causes no physical damage to the hard disk, you risk data
- loss if you have no backups.
-
- o Gradual Deterioration -- Over a period of many months or years of
- use, hard disks may develop what are called "bad sectors". This
- is not uncommon and, as a matter of fact, most hard disks shipped
- from the manufacturer have some bad sectors inherent. You do not
- see these because they are "mapped out" and no data is put on
- them. If, however, at a later time a bad sector develops and that
- sector contains data that is not backed up, you are again at
- risk.
-
-
- Operator Error
- --------------
-
- No matter how careful and well trained you are, errors will occur.
- Let's say you wanted to erase all the files on a diskette in your
- floppy drive A:. You might mean to type:
-
- ==> DEL A:*.*
-
- But what would the consequences be if you mistakenly entered:
-
- ==> DEL *.*
-
- You would have erased all the files in the root directory of your
- hard disk instead. Even more damage could be done if you were to
- mistakenly format your hard disk when you meant to format a floppy
- diskette! Backups could save the day!
-
-
- Accident and Theft
- ------------------
-
- Suppose the building containing your computer burned to the ground.
- Your data is gone unless you have a backup that you could easily
- store at some other location from your computer system.
-
- What if a burglar breaks in and steals your computer. He has also
- got your data files and you had better be prepared with backups.
-
-
- ----------------------------
- Different Ways of Backing Up
- ----------------------------
-
- BakupWiz has different ways to protect your data. You can use it to
-
- ___________________________________________________________________
- Copyright 1991, PCX BakupWiz User's Guide / 6
-
- Chapter 3 USING BakupWiz
- ___________________________________________________________________
-
-
- make a "full backup," which backs up the entire contents of your
- hard disk including subdirectories and their files. Since on most
- hard disks, only a few files actually change each day, you can also
- use BakupWiz to make "partial backups." These will protect just the
- files that have changed since the you made the last full backup.
-
-
- -----------------------
- Other Uses for BakupWiz
- -----------------------
-
- Your hard disk accumulates many files. Some of these files seldom
- see use but they still occupy space. You have two choices: buy a
- larger hard disk or remove some of those seldom used files. You can
- use BakupWiz to backup these files and then safely delete them from
- your hard disk. Should you ever need access to them, BakupWiz will
- retrieve them for you.
-
- Suppose you have a group of files that you need to send to someone
- else, perhaps on a regular basis. Using BakupWiz to make a backup
- of these files and having the recipient of the files simply use his
- BakupWiz to restore them will prove to be much faster than other
- methods.
-
-
- ------------------
- BakupWiz Operation
- ------------------
-
- To run BakupWiz you must either have added the directory where
- BakupWiz is installed to your PATH or you must change your current
- directory to BakupWiz's directory. To change the directory type:
-
- ==> CD \BW
-
- If you have installed BakupWiz into a different directory,
- substitute your particular directory name above. BakupWiz may now
- be run by typing:
-
- ==> BW
-
- BakupWiz will now be loaded into your computer's memory and present
- the Main Menu.
-
-
- ---------------
- The Menu System
- ---------------
-
- All of BakupWiz's menus have a similar appearance. Please refer to

-
- the Main Menu for the following discussion.
-
-
- Main Menu Windows
- -----------------
-
- BakupWiz divides the display into several functional areas called
- windows. The windows visible on the Main Menu are:
-
- o Menu Selection Area -- At the very top of your screen you will
- see a line listing the commands that may be issued.
-
- o Disk Information Window -- On the left side of your display just
- below the middle you will see a boxed area. This area shows your
- current drive and path name, the total capacity of the selected
- disk, and the amount of space used on the disk.
-
- o General Information Window -- The boxed area immediately to the
- right of the Disk Information Window will show you the name of
- the network server you are currently logged onto. It will be
- blank if you are not operating on a network, are not logged into
- any server, or are using a version of BakupWiz that has no
- network support. This area also shows the buffer size that
- BakupWiz has available for storing your data as it is backed up
- and restored. The line labeled Function shows the name of the
- current menu in use.
-
- o Help Line -- The second line from the bottom of the display shows
- helpful information pertaining to the current operation.
-
- o Program Version Line -- This bottom line on the display shows you
- the BakupWiz name and version as well as the current time at the
- far right.
-
-
- Additional Display Windows
- --------------------------
-
- During Backup, Restore, Directory, and Verify operations additional
- windows are displayed. Please refer to the Full Backup Screen for
- the following discussion.
-
- o Diskette Information Window -- This section of the display will
- show the name you have assigned to a FileSet, the sequential
- volume and set number, the date and time the FileSet was created,
- and the number of files and bytes contained in the FileSet.
-
- o The Session Information Window -- This window will show the time
- the backup was started, the elapsed time since it was started,
- the average data transfer rate to the backup diskette(s), number
-
- ___________________________________________________________________

-
- Chapter 3 USING BakupWiz
- ___________________________________________________________________
-
-
- of errors that have occurred in the session, and the current and
- total number of files and bytes in the backup.
-
- o The Files Window -- A file by file listing of the progress of the
- backup session is displayed. The name of the file, the date and
- time it was created, and the size of the file are shown. Any
- errors or problems encountered when backing up the file are
- displayed here also.
-
- o The Progress Bar -- Near the center of your display you will see
- a thermometer type of bar that indicates the percentage of the
- operation that is completed.
-
-
- Menu Navigation
- ---------------
-
- There are two ways to make a command selection from the menu. The
- first way is to press the key that corresponds to the first letter
- in the command name. For example: to select the Directory command
- you would press "D".
-
- The other way is move the highlight to the command you wish to
- execute and then press ENTER or DOWN-ARROW. To move the highlight
- you use keys as follows:
-
- RIGHT-ARROW -- Move the highlight one entry to the right
-
- LEFT-ARROW -- Move the highlight one entry to the left
-
- HOME -- Move the highlight to the first entry
-
- END -- Move the hightlight to the last entry
-
- ENTER -- Execute the currently highlighted command
-
- ESC -- Backup to the Previous Menu

- Chapter 4 BACKING UP
- =====================
-
- This chapter will explain the different ways that you can use
- BakupWiz to backup up your files, the various options that control
- the process, and an explanation of what BakupWiz is doing during
- this time.
-
-
- ----------------
- How BackUp Works
- ----------------
-
- BakupWiz goes through a defined sequence of steps and prompts. Most
- of these are the same no matter which backup method you choose.
- First, let's get BakupWiz running so you can try things out as you
- read along. If you have not already done so, execute BakupWiz and
- select the Backup command from the Main Menu 1.
-
- The Backup Menu has four command selections:
-
- o Full -- This command will lead you through a backup of all the
- files on one or more hard disks or network volumes.
-
- o Selective -- Selecting this command will allow you to backup only
- the files of your choosing. The various methods of choosing the
- files will be discussed later in this chapter.
-
- o Options -- The various optional parameters that control the
- backup process are displayed and changed via this command.
-
- o Quit -- Execution of this command will return you to the
- Main Menu. Pressing ESC will have the same effect.
-
- Selecting either Full or Selective allows you to begin a backup.
- BakupWiz will then ask you to insert a backup diskette, it will
- check its format, and give you the opportunity to change diskettes
- if the one you inserted contains data. You will then be given the
- opportunity to name and password protect the FileSet this backup
- session will create. If a Full Backup was selected, you will now
- specify which DOS or network volumes you wish to backup. If you
- have chosen Selective Backup, you will now enter the specifications
- for the files you wish to include as well as ones you may wish to
- exclude. Once you have selected the files you wish to backup,
- BakupWiz will scan your volumes for information on the files you
- specified. As it is scanning, BakupWiz is building a temporary file
- on your hard disk containing this information as well as keeping
- you informed of the progress of the scan. Immediately upon
- completion of the scan, BakupWiz begins the backup. You will be
- asked to insert additional diskettes as existing ones are filled.
-

- ___________________________________________________________________
-
-
- BakupWiz will tell you when it is finished.
-
-
- -----------------
- Starting a BackUp
- -----------------
-
- You must select either the Full or Selective command from the
- Backup Menu to begin a backup.
-
-
- The First Backup Diskette
- -------------------------
-
- After you issue a backup command, BakupWiz will request you to
- insert the first backup diskette. A window will appear in the
- center of your display.
-
- At this time place the first diskette you want to write the backup
- on into your diskette drive and respond with the letter "C".
- Entering "Q" or ESC will take you back to the Backup Menu.
-
- BakupWiz will now determine if the diskette is correctly formatted
- and if it contains data. Should the diskette not be formatted
- properly, BakupWiz will do it for you automatically. Formatting
- diskettes is discussed fully in Chapter 9.
-
- BakupWiz employs a formatting procedure that is superior to the
- normal DOS format program's. In order to use this procedure,
- BakupWiz will format any diskette the first time it uses it, even
- if it was previously formatted properly by DOS.
-
- If the diskette you inserted already contains data, BakupWiz wants
- to make sure that you really want to overwrite and thus destroy the
- data on the diskette. If the diskette contains a previous BakupWiz
- FileSet, a window will appear in the center of your display.
-
- This window tells you when the FileSet on the diskette was created
- as well as the name you gave the FileSet. You must now tell
- BakupWiz whether you want to Overwrite the old FileSet thus
- destroying it or Switch to a different diskette.
-
- If the diskette contained data that was not a BakupWiz FileSet, a
- window will appear.
-
- This window warns you that the diskette contains data. You must now
- tell BakupWiz whether you want to Overwrite the data or Switch to a
- different diskette.
-
-

-
- Chapter 4 BACKING UP
- ___________________________________________________________________
-
-
- Naming the FileSet
- ------------------
-
- Whenever BakupWiz performs a backup, it labels the data by marking
- the diskette with the date and time the backup was created.
- BakupWiz also allows you to assign a name to the FileSet to make it
- easier for you to identify it in the future. A window will appear
- in the center of your display.
-
- The label can be any remark or other identifying information up to
- 32 characters in length. To enter the label, simply type it in and
- hit ENTER.
-
-
- Password Protecting the FileSet
- -------------------------------
-
- To maximize the security of the data, BakupWiz offers a unique
- password system. Once a password has been established and verified
- during backup, that password becomes vital to the process of
- accessing the data. If you lose your password, your data is lost
- <197> for good. This system is so secure that we strongly recommend
- you devise a failsafe method of retaining your password(s) before
- establishing them. A window will appear in the center of your
- display.
-
- If your data does not require maximum security or you have doubts
- about your current methods of retaining passwords, you can hit
- ENTER now to bypass the password option. Otherwise BakupWiz will
- accept a password up to 8 characters in length. For security
- reasons, the password is not displayed on the screen as you enter
- it.
-
- Once you have entered the password, BakupWiz will ask you to verify
- it. A window will appear in the center of your display.
-
- This verification feature enables BakupWiz to compare the two
- entries, double checking that you typed what you meant to type! If
- the two entries do not match, BakupWiz will refuse to log the
- password and a window will appear in the center of your display.
-
- You may hit any key and BakupWiz will ask you to enter a password
- again.
-
-
- -----------------------------
- Selecting the Files to Backup
- -----------------------------
-
- You got to this point by choosing either the Full or Selective
-

- Chapter 4 BACKING UP
- ___________________________________________________________________
-
-
- Backup command. Full backup will backup all the files on one or
- more DOS or network volumes and you will select which volumes to
- back up. Selective backup will allow you to enter the specific
- files and directories you wish to include and exclude from the
- backup.
-
-
- Full Backup
- -----------
-
- BakupWiz will now ask you to specify the particular DOS or network
- volumes you want to backup. A window will appear in the center of
- your display.
-
- Enter the drive letters you wish to backup.
-
-
- Selective Backup
- -----------------
-
- BakupWiz will ask you to specify the particular files and
- directories you want to backup. A window will appear in the center
- of your display.
-
- You can now enter up to 32 filenames and directories you wish to
- backup. Simply enter each filename followed by ENTER. The filenames
- you enter must be valid DOS filenames; they may be regular or
- ambiguous filenames (wildcards); and you may specify the complete
- path or only a portion of it thereby including a broad category of
- files. If you have any files listed in the Backup Inclusion List
- option and have that option enabled, the list of those files will
- be inserted automatically in this window before you enter any new
- file specifications. For a more detailed explanation of filenames,
- consult your Operating System manual.When you have entered all the
- filenames, depress ENTER again.
-
- BakupWiz now will allow you to specify particular files and
- directories you want to exclude from the backup. A window will
- appear in the center of your display.
-
- You can now enter up to 32 filenames and directories to be
- excluded. If you have any files listed in the Backup Exclusion List
- option and have that option enabled, the list of those files will
- be inserted automatically in this window before you enter any new
- files specifications. When you have entered all the filenames,
- depress ENTER again.

-
-
- The Scan
- --------
-
- BakupWiz will now scan your hard disk looking for all files to be
- included in the backup. If no files eligible for backup are found,
- BakupWiz will display the error window.
-
- You will be returned to the Backup Menu after you hit a key.
-
-
- ------------------
- The Backup Process
- ------------------
-
- BakupWiz will now backup the files onto diskettes beginning with
- the one you have already inserted. As the backup proceeds,
- information on the files and amount of data backed up is displayed
- and also recorded in a special file called BW.LOG
-
-
- Changing Diskettes
- ------------------
-
- When BakupWiz runs out of space on the current backup diskette it
- will ask you to insert a fresh diskette.
-
- o Remove the old diskette and label it.
-
- o Insert a new diskette.
-
-
- ---------------------------------
- Interacting With BW During Backup
- ---------------------------------
-
- If your view of any of the status windows is obscured by a message
- window, you can remove the message window temporarily by pressing
- F9. To bring back the message window, press any key.
-
- Should you need to "stop the action" for some reason, you can abort
- the backup and return to the DOS command line by pressing
- CtrlBreak. BakupWiz will ask you to confirm your request by
- displaying a window.
-
- If you choose not to abort the backup, BakupWiz will continue;
- otherwise it will display an abort window.

- Completion
- ----------
-
- Once BakupWiz completes the Backup operation it will display a
- window.
-
-
- -------
- Options
- -------
-
- There are various optional parameters that control the backup
- process. You control these by selecting Options from the Backup
- Menu. A window will be opened.
-
- The functions of the options are discussed below:
-
-
- Backup Trees
- ------------
-
- This value effects what BakupWiz will do when it encounters a
- subdirectory as it is scanning your hard disk for files to backup.
- If the value is set to "Y", BakupWiz will backup any subdirectories
- and files contained therein. If the value is "N", subdirectories
- are ignored.
-
-
- Only Changed Files
- ------------------
-
- With this parameter set to "Y", BakupWiz will only backup files
- that have been changed since the last backup. Otherwise, all files
- specified will be backed up.
-
-
- Reset Changed Files
- -------------------
-
- If this option is set to "Y", for every file it has backed up,
- BakupWiz will reset the modified file bit; thus indicating that the
- file has not changed since the last backup.

-
- Date/Time Comparison Type
- -------------------------
-
- BakupWiz gives you the ability to age restrict the selection of
- files to be backed up as being older, the same age as, or newer
- than a specified date and time. When this parameter is set to
- Spacebar, the date/time comparison is ignored. The other
- permissible values are:
-
- o < -- Only files that have not been changed since the specified
- date/time will be selected for backup.
-
- o = -- Only files that were changed on the specified date/time will
- be selected for backup.
-
- o > -- Only files that have been changed since the specified
- date/time will be selected for backup.

- Chapter 5 RESTORING
- ====================
-
- This chapter will explain the different ways that you can use
- BakupWiz to restore your files, the various options that control
- the process, and an explanation of what BakupWiz is doing during
- this time.
-
-
- -----------------
- How Restore Works
- -----------------
-
- BakupWiz goes through a defined sequence of steps and prompts. Most
- of these are the same no matter which restore method you choose.
- First, let's get BakupWiz running so you can try things out as you
- read along. If you have not already done so, execute BakupWiz and
- select the Restore command from the Main Menu 1.
-
- The Restore Menu has four command selections:
-
- o Full -- This command will lead you through a restore of all the
- files from a FileSet to your hard disk.
-
- o Selective -- Selecting this command will allow you to restore
- only the files of your choosing. The various methods of choosing
- the files will be discussed later in this chapter.
-
- o Options -- The various optional parameters that control the
- restore process are displayed and changed via this command.
-
- o Quit -- Execution of this command will return you to the
- Main Menu. Pressing ESC will have the same effect.
-
- Selecting either Full or Selective allows you to begin a restore.
- BakupWiz will then ask you to insert the first diskette from the
- backup FileSet you wish to restore. It will demand you enter a
- password if the FileSet was password protected. Then it will
- display the identifying information from the FileSet and ask that
- you approve it continue with that FileSet or switch to another
- FileSet. If you have chosen Full restore, BakupWiz will select all
- the files from the FileSet for restore. If you have chosen
- Selective restore, you will now enter the specifications for the
- files you wish to include as well as ones you may wish to exclude.
- Once you have selected the files you wish to restore, BakupWiz will
- scan the directory of files that it has retrieved from your
- diskette and mark the selected ones for restore. It will give you
- the opportunity to view the selected list of files. Then you will
- be asked to specify the disk volume BakupWiz should restore the
- files onto. The restore now begins with the first diskette already
-

-
-
- inserted and you will be asked to insert subsequent diskettes as
- needed. BakupWiz will tell you when it is finished.
-
-
- ------------------
- Starting a Restore
- ------------------
-
- You must select either the Full or Selective command from the
- Restore Menu to begin a restore.
-
-
- The First Restore Diskette
- --------------------------
-
- After you issue a restore command, BakupWiz will request you to
- insert the first diskette of the FileSet you want to restore from.
- A window will appear in the center of your display.
-
- At this time place the first diskette from the FileSet you want to
- restore from into your floppy drive and respond with the letter
- "C". Entering "Q" or ESC will take you back to the Restore Menu.
-
- BakupWiz will now read the identifying and control information from
- the diskette.
-
-
- Password Protected FileSets
- ---------------------------
-
- If you specified a password when this FileSet was created, BakupWiz
- will now require you to enter the exact password. A window will
- appear in the center of your display.
-
- Enter the password now. For security reasons, the password is not
- displayed on the screen as you enter it. If the password is
- incorrect, an error will be indicated and the password entry window
- will reappear.
-
-
- Approving the FileSet
- ---------------------
-
- BakupWiz will now display the date and time the FileSet was created
- as well as the name you may have assigned to the FileSet. A window
- will appear in the center of your display.
-
- You must now enter "Y" to continue with this FileSet or "N" or ESC
- to cause BakupWiz to switch to a different FileSet. Once you have
- approved the FileSet, BakupWiz will read the directory of files
-

-
-
- that the FileSet contains.
-
-
- ------------------------------
- Selecting the Files to Restore
- ------------------------------
-
- You got to this point by choosing either the Full or Selective
- restore command. Full restore will restore all the files from a
- FileSet. Selective restore will allow you to enter the specific
- files and directories you wish to include and exclude from the
- restore.
-
-
- Full Restore
- ------------
-
- In a Full restore, all the files in the FileSet are implicitly
- selected for restore.
-
-
- Selective Restore
- -----------------
-
- BakupWiz will ask you to specify the particular files and
- directories you want to restore. A window will appear in the center
- of your display.
-
- You can now enter up to 32 filenames and directories you wish to
- restore. Simply enter each filename followed by ENTER. The
- filenames you enter must be valid DOS filenames; they may be
- regular or ambiguous filenames (wildcards); and you may specify the
- complete path or only a portion of it thereby including a broad
- category of files. For a more detailed explanation of filenames,
- consult the IBM DOS manual. When you have entered all the
- filenames, depress ENTER again.
-
- BakupWiz now will allow you to specify particular files and
- directories you want to exclude from the restore. A window will
- appear in the center of your display.
-
- You can now enter up to 32 filenames and directories to be
- excluded. If you have any files listed in the Restore Exclusion
- List option and have that option enabled, the list of those files
- will be inserted automatically in this window before you enter any
- new file specifications. When you have entered all the filenames,
- depress ENTER again.

- Completion
- ----------
-
- Once BakupWiz completes the Restore operation it will display a
- window.
-
-
- -------
- Options
- -------
-
- There are various optional parameters that control the restore
- process. You control these by selecting Options from the Restore
- Menu. A window will be opened.
-
- The functions of the options are discussed below:
-
-
- Restore Trees
- -------------
-
- This value effects what BakupWiz will do when it encounters a
- subdirectory as it is scanning the directory of the FileSet being
- restored. If the value is set to "Y", BakupWiz will restore any
- subdirectories and files contained therein. If the value is "N",
- subdirectories are ignored.
-

- Chapter 5 RESTORING
- ___________________________________________________________________
-
-
- Overwrite Existing Files
- ------------------------
-
- With this parameter set to "Y", BakupWiz will overwrite any files
- on your hard disk with the same name as the file being restored. If
- the value is "N", existing files will be left intact and the file
- with the same name on the FileSet will be skipped. The value "A"
- will cause BakupWiz to ask your permission each time it encounters
- the situation.
-
-
- Overwrite Changed Files
- -----------------------
-
- With this parameter set to "Y", BakupWiz will replace any files on
- your hard disk with the same name as the file being restored even
- if the file on the hard disk has been changed since the last
- backup. If the value is "N", existing files will be left intact and
- the file with the same name on the FileSet will be skipped. The
- value "A" will cause BakupWiz to ask your permission each time it
- encounters the situation.
-
-
- Use New Directory
- -----------------
-
- If this option is set to "N", BakupWiz will restore the files to
- the original directory structure from which they were backed up.
- Any intermediate directories are created as necessary. Setting this
- value to "Y" will results in all the files being restored to the
- single directory specified in the next parameter. The value "T" is
- similar in function to "Y" but that the subdirectory structure of
- the original backup is retained but placed under the directory
- specified in the next parameter.
-
-
- Edit Restore Path
- -----------------
-
- This option entry is used to enter and edit the path name referred
- to in the previous parameter. To change this parameter, select this
- entry and press ENTER. BakupWiz will open a new window.
-
- You may enter and edit the path name as suggested by the help area
- of the window.

-
-
- Date/Time Comparison Type
- -------------------------
-
- BakupWiz gives you the ability to restrict the selection of files
- to be restored up as being older, the same as, or newer than a
- specified date and time. When this parameter is set to Spacebar,
- the date/time comparison is ignored. The other permissible values
- are:
-
- o < -- Only files that were not been changed since the specified
- date/time will be selected for restore.
-
- o = -- Only files that were changed on the specified date/time will
- be selected for restore.
-
- o > -- Only files that have been changed since the specified
- date/time will be selected for restore.
-
-
- Date (MM/DD/YY)
- ----------------
-
- This entry is used in conjunction with the previous entry to
- specify the date to be compared.
-
-
- Time (HH:MM)
- ------------
-
- This entry is used in conjunction with the previous two entries to
- specify the time to be compared.
-
-
- Use All FileSets
- ----------------
-
- When this parameter has the value "Y", BakupWiz will restore
- selected files not just from the first FileSet, but also from any
- appended FileSets. A "N" value uses just the first FileSet.
-
-
- Use Exclusion List
- ------------------
-
- BakupWiz allows you to specify a list of files that will be
- excluded from every Selective Restore. This entry controls whether
- this list will be used for this particular restore.

- ========================================
-
- This chapter will explain how you can use BakupWiz to display a
- directory of the files backed up in a FileSet.
-
-
- -------------------
- How Directory Works
- -------------------
-
- BakupWiz goes through a defined sequence of steps and prompts.
- First, let's get BakupWiz running so you can try things out as you
- read along. If you have not already done so, execute BakupWiz and
- select the Directory command from the Main Menu will then ask you
- to insert the first diskette from the backup FileSet from which you
- wish to display the directory. It will demand you enter a password
- if the FileSet was password protected. Then it will display the
- identifying information from the FileSet and ask that you approve
- it continue with that FileSet or switch to another FileSet. Once
- you have approved the FileSet, BakupWiz will read the directory
- from the diskette and display the first page of the directory.
- Subsequent pages are displayed under your control.
-
-
- --------------------
- Starting a Directory
- --------------------
-
- You have already selected Directory from the Main Menu so BakupWiz
- will now request you to insert the first diskette of a backup
- FileSet.
-
-
- The First Directory Diskette
- ----------------------------
-
- After you issue the directory command, BakupWiz will request you to
- insert the first diskette of the FileSet whose directory you want
- to display. A window will appear in the center of your display.
-
- At this time place the first diskette from the FileSet you want
- display the directory into your floppy drive and respond with the
- letter "C". Entering "Q" or ESC will take you back to the
- Main Menu.
-
- BakupWiz will now read the identifying and control information from
- the diskette.

- ---------------------
-
- BakupWiz will now display the date and time the FileSet was created
- as well as the name you may have assigned to the FileSet. A window
- will appear in the center of your display.
-
- You must now enter "Y" to continue with this FileSet or "N" or ESC
- to cause BakupWiz to switch to a different FileSet. Once you have
- approved the FileSet, BakupWiz will read the directory of files
- that the FileSet contains.
-
-
- ---------------------
- The Directory Process
- ---------------------
-
- BakupWiz will now start displaying the directory information from
- the selected FileSet. Each file name will be displayed in the Files
- Window and also recorded in a special file called BW.LOG. The
- directory will be displayed one screen page at a time. When your
- display pauses , an entire page has been displayed.
-
- BakupWiz is waiting for you to enter a key from the keyboard. You
- may enter:
-
- o ESC -- This will terminate the directory operation.
-
- o "C" -- This key will cause BakupWiz to continue with the
- directory operation but not pause at screen pages.
-

-
-
- Chapter 8 CONFIGURING BakupWiz
- ===============================
-
- This chapter will explain how to configure the default operating
- parameters of BakupWiz.
-
-
- ----------------
- How Config Works
- ----------------
-
- First, let's get BakupWiz running so you can try things out as you
- read along. If you have not already done so, execute BakupWiz and
- select the Config command from the Main Menu 1.
-
- This screen consists of the current default parameters and some
- help information in the bottom section. You may now use the control
- keys listed in the help section to move around the screen and edit
- parameters. The functions of all the parameters are described
- below.
-
-
- Drive Select
- ------------
-
- BakupWiz can use your A: or B: diskette drives or an arbitrary DOS
- path. Enter "A", "B", or "/" to command the use of a DOS path.
-
-
- Edit DOS Backup/Restore Path
- ----------------------------
-
- This option entry is used to enter and edit the path name referred
- to in the previous parameter. To change this parameter, select this
- entry with any of the editing keys shown in the help area below and
- then press ENTER. BakupWiz will open a new window.
-
-
- Diskette Type
- -------------
-
- BakupWiz supports four diskette formats and is able to choose the
- most appropriate for your computer. Should your computer have a
- non-standard configuration or you wish to use a different format
- you may select as follows:
-
- o "H" -- 1.2 megabyte 5.25" diskette format;
-
- o "D" -- 360 kilobyte 5.25" diskette format;
-
-
- ___________________________________________________________________
- Copyright 1991, PCX BakupWiz User's Guide / 32
-
- Chapter 8 CONFIGURING BakupWiz
- ___________________________________________________________________
-
-
- o "1" -- 1.4 megabyte 3.5" diskette format; and
-
- o "7" -- 720 kilobyte 3.5" diskette format.
-
-
- Format Each Diskette
- --------------------
-
- Before using a diskette for backup, BakupWiz will determine if it
- is correctly formatted. If it is not properly formatted, BakupWiz
- will automatically format it for you. Should you desire to have
- BakupWiz format each diskette, even if it is already formatted, set
- this parameter to "Y".
-
-
- Video Mode
- ----------
-
- BakupWiz can determine the default video parameter. In some
- circumstances you may want to alter this. The allowable values are
- Space, indicating that BakupWiz should determine the mode, and "M",
- forcing monochrome use only.
-
-
- Use Sequential Logfiles
- -----------------------
-
- BakupWiz can create logfiles in two different ways. The normal
- default is to always name the logfile BW.LOG. In this case whenever
- you run BakupWiz, the previous logfile is destroyed when the
- current one is created. Should you wish to keep the previous
- logfiles, set this parameter to "Y". BakupWiz will now generate a
- logfile with a name in the form of BWyyjjj.Lnn where yy is the
- current year, jjj is the julian date, and nn is a sequential number
- that is incremented each time BakupWiz is run during one day.
-
-
- Edit Logfile Path
- -----------------
-
- By default, BakupWiz will create its logfile in the current
- directory when BakupWiz was executed. This parameter can be used to
- select a different directory where you wish these logfiles placed.
- To change this parameter, position to it using the control keys and
- then hit ENTER. A smaller window will appear in the center of your
- display.
-
- Simply enter the desired path name here and depress F10 when done.

-
-
- Quiet Mode
- ----------
-
- This parameter controls whether BakupWiz will emit a tone to
- indicate an error condition. When set to "Y", there will be no
- tones.
-
-
- ---------------------
- Saving the Parameters
- ---------------------
-
- When all the changes have been made, depress F10 to accept them. A
- window will appear in the center of your display.
-
- Entering "N" will cause BakupWiz to only use the changed parameters
- for this particular run of BakupWiz and then discard them. If you
- wish to retain the changed values permanently, enter "Y" to this
- query. In this case another window will appear in the center of
- your display.
-
- This window shows the path name from which BakupWiz was executed
- and the path name to write the modified parameters to. Normally
- simply enter F10 to accept these as is. If you change the
- destination path, another copy of BW.EXE will be created with the
- modified parameters imbedded.
