Message-ID: <138*mjolsnes@vax.elab.unit.uninett> Date: 23 Sep 88 17:43:00 GMT Sender: daemon@ucbvax.BERKELEY.EDU Organization: The Internet Lines: 12 The BACKUP.EXE in MSDOS 2.11 from DEC has lots of nice screens etc. The online documentation claims that it is possible to indirect a file which contains a list of files to be backed up, instead of using filespecification (with metacharacters) directly. This is obviously useful for more "selective" backups. Problem: I cannot get it to work! Any experienced users out there? Can any public domain software handle this delicate task of backing up and restoring reliably on the Rainbow? Stig F. Mjolsnes, Norwegian Inst. of Technology, Trondheim mjolsnes@vax.elab.unit.uninett
