Utilities/!Backup3/!Help/helptext

This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.

Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

RiscOS Hard Disc Backup            Version 3
11
----------------- Introduction ----------------
This application backs up hard discs (ADFS or
SCSI) to as many ADFS floppies as required.  It
can be used for a full backup, where all files
are copied, or an incremental backup where only
the files that have been changed since the last
backup are copied.  It leaves a marker file (of
type &409) in the source directory to record
the date the last backup was made. 

------------------- Running -------------------
Double-click on the application, or on a marker
file.  In the latter case, the source entry box
will be filled in with the directory that that
file was contained in, otherwise it will show a
default. 




---------------- Control Window ---------------
Enter the required filing system name and
source directory in the 'Source' box.  The
backup process will look at all files in that
directory and any sub-directories below it. 

Enter a different drive number if required for
the 'Destination'; this must be an ADFS floppy. 

Select 'Full' or 'Incremental' as required.  If
a marker file does not exist in the source
directory, a full backup will automatically be
done. 

Select 'Use exclusion list' if it is required
to exclude certain directories from the backup
process (see 'Exclude list' later for details). 

Select 'Process unstamped files' to include
these in the backup process.  If this is not
set, all unstamped files will be ignored.  If
these are included, select 'Query unstamped
files' to ask whether unstamped files should be
copied. 

When everything is set up, click 'Start' or
press RETURN to begin the backup.  Click
'Info...' for program information or 'Help...'
to view this help text.  Click 'Quit' or press
ESCAPE to exit. 
----------------- In Progress -----------------
The progress window will pop up and show how
the backup is going.  Messages and questions
will appear in the large white box at the
bottom.  To restart after a message, click
'Continue' or press RETURN.  To reply Yes to a
question, click 'Yes' or press RETURN, to reply
No click 'No' or press ESCAPE. 

You will be asked to load discs as required. 
The program remembers which discs have been
used before, and how much space is left on
them, and may ask for one of them back if
enough space is still free on it. 

If you insert an unformatted disc, you will be
asked whether to format it.  If you answer Yes,
after it has been formatted (in D format) a box
will pop up asking for a name for the new disc. 
Fill this in and press RETURN or click 'OK'. 
If you insert a disc for the first time which
already has files on it, you will be asked
whether these existing files should be deleted. 

When all is complete, a marker file will be
created in the source directory to record the
last backup date. 

If it is necessary to abandon the backup, kill
the Backup task using the Task Manager. 
---------------- Exclude list -----------------
To use the exclusion list option, edit the
"Excludes" file in the application directory to
contain the directory names that are not to be
backed up.  Name matching is case-sensitive,
and is done on the last part of the name (so,
for example, an entry of '.bak' will result in
any directory with the name 'bak' being ignored
while an entry of '$.bak' will only exclude the
single 'bak' directory at the top level).
