I downloaded BU-11.LBR from Simtel to see If I could use it with my system
(CompuPro C-HQ540 running under MPM-816) to backup my 40Mb Hard disk.
The program is very nice: it includes a number of good options (backup single
or multiple drives, current user area or all, files with attribute set or
not, etc) and it is much better than my present system. I back up using
ARCHIVE (COM or CMD), SUBMIT files and SOFTKEY files (a keyboard enhancer
program for Compupro systems).
Additional features: It generates an alphabetical listing of all non-dupli-
cated files, prints it and then, as it backs up, it prints a formatted list
of the files being copied. It prompts for the date and a disk number, and
this info is used to generate in user 0 of the backup disk a file called
-..
Problems and questions:
BU comes setup to manipulate the file attribute F4. This is no good for my
system where this attribute is used by MPM to disable several features.
I modified it so it manipulates T3 ( the archive attribute bit) and now it
sets and resets this bit like ARCHIVE ,PIP, etc.
Problems: The program prompts for a new disk when the backup is full, but
if a new one is inserted I run into problems under MPM-816.
Has anybody modified BU to do the equivalent of a DSKRESET ?
Is anybody using this program with a Compupro system running under MPM-816?
The program is in MICRO:BU-11.LBR.
