v @ $#g'D,Y/36V:>CG+K OR~V}   !    Backup Add-In   The Hard Disk Backup Program for Lotus 1-2-3  Backup is a Lotus 1-2-3 Add-In that helps you quickly and easily make backupcopies of your worksheets and other files directly from within 1-2-3. Youcan also restore backed up files without having to exit from Lotus.

If a path isnot specified, then Backup assumes that you want the root directory.All Backup all files (same as Pattern *.*) including worksheets, data files, application files and others. You must specify the drive and an optional path.Pattern Enter a single filename or file pattern to backup.Worksheets Backup all worksheet files. Worksheets with the following file extensions will be affected: (1) 1-2-3 -- WKS, WK1, WK!, WK$; (2) Symphony -- WRK, WR1, WR!, WR$; (3) NoteIt Plus -- NTS, WNT; (4) SQZ! Tools -- HIS; (5) 4Views -- 4VW. You can specify a drive and an optional path.List Select a range in the worksheet that contains a list of filenames or file patterns to backup. Place a single item in each cell including drive and path information.Wildcards /Backup Destination Help Index /Backup Destination -- Specify the Destination for Backup FilesEnter a drive and optional path to indicate where you want to place the filesyou are backing up. If you are backing up to removable disks, you can onlybackup to the root directory. Before starting a backup to removable disks,all files in its root directory will be erased.The Backup Destination can be any of the four standard removable disk formats: o 360KB (Low Density 5 1/4 inch) o 1.2MB (High Density 5 1/4 inch) o 720KB (Low Density 3 1/2 inch) o 1.44MB (High Density 3 1/2 inch)The Backup Destination can also be another hard disk drive, a network fileserver, or even a mini/mainframe computer disk drive that is accessible as astandard DOS device driver.The Backup Destination and Source must NOT indicate the same disk drive./Backup Source Help Index    /Backup Options -- Select Backup Criterion OptionsThese options let you specify your criterion for backing up files. If afile fails to meet any one criteria, the file is not backed up. Therefore,during an Backup Analyze or Go, these options become filters on the files youspecify in the Backup Source menu: Modify Backup modified files only Verify Verify that data is backed up correctly Date Backup files modified on or after a certain date Log List the backed up files to a Lotus range Subdirectories Include files in subdirectories for backupHelp IndexD /Backup Options Modify/Verify Page 1 of 2Modify Enable or disable backup of modified files only. Files are considered "modified" if they have been changed since the last backup. Backing up only modified files is sometimes called an "incremental backup".Verify Enable or disable data verification during backup where the backup data is compared for accuracy with the original file. Verification is performed each time data is written to disk. If verification fails, then two retries will be done before the backup job is terminated.Next /Backup Options Help Index& & /Backup Options Date/Log/Subdirectories Page 2 of 2Date Enable or disable backing up files that were modified on or after a certain date. Enter date in the format MM/DD/YY.Log Enable or disable listing of file information to a Lotus range during an Backup Analyze or a Go. This provides an audit trail of hard disk file backups. File entries are listed one per row with the columns containing the filename, filesize, date stamp, time stamp, and backup status respectfully starting from the leftmost column. In the future, you can use this output as input to a restore operation using the Restore Destination List command.Subdirectories Enable or disable backing up files in all subdirectories. Note: This will apply to all file patterns specified in a Backup Source List.Previous /Backup Options /Backup Source List/Backup Analyze /Backup Go Help Index[ /Backup Analyze -- Update the Analyze Window for Current Backup OptionsAnalyze determines certain requirements for a backup operation.

Immediately, two newwindows, the STATUS and FILES windows, appear on the screen. If you haveany changes to any of the backup settings since your last Backup Analyze,then a new analyze will be performed automatically before the backup starts.BACKUP STATUS WINDOWThe first line of the Status window always indicates what Backup is currentlydoing such as waiting for a disk to be inserted or backing up to a disk.The second line of this window is reserved for user messages and userprompts such as prompting for a terminate. See this example: STATUS  Insert Disk #1 ... (ALL DATA will be erased)   Press Any Key to Continue.  Next /Backup Analyze Help Index   /Backup Go -- Start an Actual Backup Job Page 2 of 2BACKUP FILES WINDOWThe Files window has two areas: (1) A scrolling view box of files beingprocessed; and (2) Backup job statistics. The first area displays the fullpathname of each file that is actually backed up. The second area show thecurrent backup disk number, the number of backup disks required (fromAnalyze), the percentage of completion of the backup job and the startingtime for this backup.

Two data filesare created on each backup disk -- BACKUP.nnn and CONTROL.nnn, where nnn isthe sequence number of the backup disk. (On non-removable fixed disks,only one BACKUP.nnn and CONTROL.nnn files are created.)Storing the data files in this format makes it possible to transfer filesbetween computer systems -- that is, you can send Backup Add-In backup disksto associates that do not use the Backup Add-In, and they will be able torestore them using DOS 3.30 RESTORE. Likewise you can receive backup filescreated by DOS 3.30 BACKUP and restore them using the Backup Add-In.Backup uses DOS formatted disks. You can also make copies of backup disksfor archival purposes.* Future releases of DOS Backup and Restore will be downward compatible with the DOS 3.30 backup file format.Help Index Using Wildcard CharactersRather than having to specify each file with a specific filename, Backupallows you to specify filename patterns for backup and restore operations.You can use two special "wildcard" characters as part of filename patterns: '*' (asterisk) means match any number of characters (zero or more) '?' (question mark) means match any single characterExamples: "BUDGET.WK?" matches "BUDGET.WK1" and "BUDGET.WKS" "*.WK1" matches "BUDGET.WK1" and "YEAREND.WK1" "BUD*88.WK!" matches "BUDE88.WK!" and "BUDGET88.WK!" "BUD?88.WK!" matches "BUDE88.WK!" but NOT "BUDGET88.WK!" "*88.WK1" matches "BUD88.WK1" and "88.WK1" "BUD??.WK1" matches "BUD88.WK1" but NOT "BUD.WK1" or "BUDGET.WK1" "?BUDGET.W*" matches "TBUDGET.WK!" and "TBUDGET.W" but NOT "88BUDGET.WK1"Help Index_ About the Help System -- [HELP] F1This Add-In has a context-sensitive, on-line help system similar to 1-2-3's.Whenever you want more information about a menu item or general informationabout this Add-In, press F1 for Help. Most of the time your questions willbe answered without having to refer to the manual. To get Lotus help, youmust first return to 1-2-3 and then press F1.Each help screen contains some highlighted text. These are "help items" toadditional help screens which provide more detail or information on relatedtopics. The last help item on every help screen is Help Index which will takeyou to a complete list of all available help topics. The cursor keys move youamongst the bright help items.
