Short: Backup program - with AMOS source Author: karglch@sbox.tu-graz.ac.at (Christian Kargl) Uploader: karglch sbox tu-graz ac at (Christian Kargl) Type: disk/bakup Version: 1.01 (05/Mar/2002) Requires: OS2.0+, 2MB memory, powerpacker.library (NOT included) Architecture: m68k-amigaos 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 Archive content: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ LhA Freeware Version 2.2 Copyright © 1991-94 by Stefan Boberg.
