OS/2 BakupWiz Readme.txt Ver 1.04 Nov 07, 1993 Version 1.04 is another bug fix and enhancement release. NOTE: If you are using tapes that were previously written by another backup program that uses multiple partitions, they should be erased before using them with BakupWiz. This will be detected and automatically handled in a future release. NOTE: There has been a change in the format of the configuration file. Your existing configuration files will no longer work properly and you must reconfigure and resave any custom configurations you may have. My apologies for this inconvenience. Any future changes in the configuration file will be backward compatible. Changes อออออออ * Added a method of reconfiguring a listed tape drive. * Added -UE command line switch - Erase tape (before other operations). * Added -UR command line switch - Rewind tape (before other operations). * Add Config option to place the BakupWiz temporary files in a user specifiable directory, rather than the current directory. Use the Configuration Panel "Edit Tempfile Path" parameter to set this drive/directory. Note: any directories you specify must already exist. * Added capability to backup/restore to any specified path/file. Use the Configuration Panel "Edit Tape Image Path" parameter to set this drive/directory/file. Note: any directories you specify must already exist. This is not yet a general purpose backup to removable medium since it does not yet have the capability to swap to new media. It will backup properly as long as the entire backup will fit on the drive it is being written to. Fixed Bugs ออออออออออ * Fixed trap when using command line directory operation. * Fixed problem introduced in 1.03 where certain files that are always supposed to be skipped (EA DATA . SF, WP ROOT . SF, SWAPPER.DAT, etc.) were being included in the backup. These files typically then caused open or suspect errors. * Fixed problem restoring the Template folder. * Put in a workaround for the Archive 2525 tape unwinding problem. Ver 1.03 Oct 24, 1993 Version 1.03 is another bug fix and enhancement release. NOTE: If you are using tapes that were previously written by another backup program that uses multiple partitions, they should be erased before using them with BakupWiz. Thsi will be detected and automatically handled in a future release. Changes อออออออ * Put in sanity checks to catch corrupt HPFS volumes being backed up. * Allow QFA to be disabled via Config. Fixed Bugs ออออออออออ * Fixed bug that was occasionally restoring directories as files and vice versa. * Command line backup sessions that required multiple tapes used to overwrite the first tape without prompting. A prompt now appears. * Backup scan was not always finding single files that were explicitly specified. * Fixed trap when command line backup found no tape in the drive. Ver 1.02 Oct 04, 1993 Version 1.02 is a minor bug fix and enhancement release. To install, just copy all the files from this diskette into the directory where you have OS/2 BakupWiz installed. If you have made many customizations in your default config file, BWS5.CFG, you might want to save your copy or not copy the default one from the distribution diskette. Changes อออออออ * Remember the name of the last loaded or saved Config file. This name will be presented as the default choice for further config file operations. Fixed Bugs ออออออออออ * Fixed SYS3175 error when restoring files with VERY LARGE extended attribute sets. * Fixed erroneous SUSPECT errors due to invalid time stamps form older DOS files. * Repaired another problem in dealing with very large EA sets. Ver 1.01 Sep 26, 1993 Version 1.01 is a minor bug fix and enhancement release. To install, just copy all the files from this diskette into the directory where you have OS/2 BakupWiz installed. If you have made many customizations in your default config file, BWS5.CFG, you might want to save your copy or not copy the default one from the distribution diskette. Changes อออออออ * Better SWAPPER.DAT detection. * Using -B and -V forces auto verify after the backup. * Added -D command line directory operation. * Ship PATCH.EXE with OS/2 BakupWiz. This allows the applicaton of changes and fixes without reshipping the entire package. Since the patches are only useful for owners of OS/2 BakupWiz, they will also be posted in public elecronic areas for easier customer access. Fixed Bugs ออออออออออ * Fixed erroneous SUSPECT errors. * Fixed create errors for files in root dir. * Fixed the operation of the restore exclude option. * Fixed Restore Tree option. * Backing up the OS/2 .INI files often gave Verify or Suspect errors. This has been fixed by first making copies of these files and backing up those copies. This prevents any changes OS/2 might make to the INI files from producing errors. Ver 1.00 Sep 10, 1993 * There is an extra file on the distribution diskette. It is BWS5.CFG - default configuration file. * This note only applies if you are running an Adaptec 1742 SCSI controller. DO NOT select the RESET option from the Utilities Menu! Doing so will cause a trap in the AHA174X.ADD driver supplied by Adaptec. It is an Adaptec problem and they are working on it.
