That's a simple backup program to save your hard disc on floppy
discs. I don't expect anybody to use it seriously, but I do.
For large data you better use a CD ROM. But for anybody who wants
to create a backup program have a look at the source code. The
most annoying thing is the user interface, known as GUI. So I used
the powerful Interface language of AMOS Professional V2.0. You also
need the AMCAF extension for many commands, or you write library
calls yourself.
Features:
~~~~~~~~~
- backup data onto DD or HD floppies
- redirection to hard disc for a faster backup
- backup selection tree: select complete dirs or single files
- restore simulation for testing data written on floppies
- recoverable restoration if data of one file are corrupt
- savable history list for backup and restoration
- simple usage, also without reading the guide
- with source for interested programmers
Changes from V1.0
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*) FIXED: if compressed size is larger than original, informations
for the original file were saved, but with compressed data!
*) CHANGED: only one reading command for informations instead of four,
because of strange effects with the file position pointer.
Things TO DO:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- better split up files into 64K blocks to support large files on
low memory systems, which may increases compressed size
- add multitasking to do other things while backup/restore operation
works in the background
