!Backup/Docs/Intro
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.

Introduction
============
HardBack is a hard disc backup utility which allows you to protect
your data from unforeseen events. If your hard disc crashes or you
accidentally delete an important file, having a backup copy can
save you a great deal of trouble and prevent you losing what may
be many hours work. It can also help, for example, if your
computer is stolen or some errant virus deletes your hard work.
HardBack is Shareware, which means that, if you like it, use it
regularly or want the features of the full version, then you send �10
to the author: see Appendix A for details.
This is a demonstration version of HardBack, which means that
some of the features - compression being a major one - have been
removed. There will be no further demo versions of HardBack,
except possibly small bug fixes, as I shall now spend time
improving the registered version.
Features of this demo of HardBack include:-
� Splitting of large files between discs
� Filling up of discs completely
� Multitasking backup and restore operations, allowing you to
get on with other work while the backup proceeds
� Restoring selected items from windows which look and
behave almost exactly like Filer windows
� Dragging of objects from the selected items window directly
onto programs, without having to drag them to a disc first
� Selecting of many destinations from any FileCore filing
system, such as ADFS, SCSI, IDE etc.
� Backing up on media of any size, from 12K RAM discs to
4Gb+ hard drives
� Mixing of media size within the same backup
� Choosing to backup particular files/directories or backup the
contents of one directory
� Choosing to backup only particular types of files, including
Impression documents
� Ignoring certain files/directories, if you do not want them to
be backed up
� Backing up of objects created after either the last backup or
created after a specified date and time
� Choosing various options about how to backup PC partitions
and similar files
� Optimising HardBack to work as efficiently as possible
through various configuration options
� Saving of all options as a script file, which, as well as being
able to be reloaded into HardBack, can be run from other
programs or double clicked to start the backup procedure
� Saving of a script file as the default to be loaded when
HardBack starts up. This script file can be anywhere and
need not be inside the !Backup application
� Requiring no disc workspace for Backup and Restore: they
do not write to files inside their applications, so they could
easily be put onto a CD-Rom
� Carrying out of a backup operation without human assistance
- for example, in the middle of the night - due to several
command line options
� Managing of memory dynamically, which allows you to alter
the amount of memory used as workspace by HardBack
� Formatting of discs automatically, if necessary
� Preserving of all the other files on backup discs, which need
not be empty: the files will remain intact, if you wish
� Informing you comprehensively of how the backup is
proceeding and giving you an estimate of time to go
� Pausing of the backup operation option, which allows you to
halt it temporarily
� Backing up can be stopped at any point, without quitting the
application
� Restoring the whole backup or only selected items, as you
prefer
� Working on all versions 2-3.5 of Risc OS, under Risc OS 3,
with nice 3D windows and solid sprite drags for all drag
operations
� Containing all messages in a file which can be translated into
any language
� Reading of compressed backups in the demo version of
Restore: it can be used to pass large single or multi-file
backups to other people using floppies
� Backing up of individual files directly from the source entry,
a way to archive large files over several discs
� Supporting fully of Interactive help
Installation
============
To install HardBack onto your hard disc, simply drag the
applications !Backup and !Restore to a suitable directory viewer on
your hard disc. But remember that, if you pass this demo version
of HardBack onto anyone else, you must include the
documentation and all other files in the HardBack directory: it only
inconveniences them if they don�t have any instructions.
