From Moonlighter Software Develpment, Inc. Moonlighter is pleased to bring you Ami-Back Tools, a collection of the best disk utilities available to keep your Amiga's floppy and hard drives performing flawlessly. Have you ever accidentally erased an important file? Have you noticed your drives slowing down after heavy usage? Have you noticed how hard drive problems occur at the most inconvenient times? Over 90% of all sick hard drives can be cured with the right tools: Ami-Back Tools! Ami-Back Tools can diagnose and treat small problems before they become big disasters: the GP, a sophisticated disk optimizer ensures your data is stored as efficiently as possible, and the Disk Analyst examines your disks for potential problems and repairs them when the need arises. 911-Recovery recovers data from crashed disks, and the Reviver recovers deleted files in place, while the Antiseptic clears your disk of everything. The Lab Test lets you check and compare checksums for file corruption and virus protection. All these programs are tied together by the Administrator which allows you to set up, schedule, and perform any or all of these tests with unmatched ease and flexibility. Ami-Back Tools represents over a year of development from concept to completion. The suggestions of hundreds of Amiga users were considered and evaluated as the features of Ami-Back Tools went from idea stage to software code. High quality was always a priority during the design of Ami-Back Tools. Amiga users have been waiting for a professional and reliable disk utilities package since the Amiga's introduction, and Ami-Back Tools is our answer to these users' wishes. We are certain you will find this package unmatched by any other utilities package on the market today. Overview: The "GP" (General Practioner) organizes the information on your harddrive for maximum performance. It offers several choices of file, directory, or free space organization. GP is fast and safe. Optimizing your hard drive no longer needs to be a potentially dangerous task, nor a slow tedious process.. GP is robust and allows the user to abort it's operation at any time without loss of data. The "Disk Analyst" finds and fixes problems with disk structure that prevents normal disk operation - "Key Not Set", "Block 51224 Has a Checksum Error" and other filing system level problems can be corrected. The Disk Analyst is aware of all filing systems from WB1.3 OFS to WB3.0 Directory-Cached and will allows you to undo changes made to the file system. The "Reviver" let you recovers deleted files in place, giving you control of which files are to be un-deleted. The Reviver will also restore a "quick" formatted device to it's previous contents. The "Lab Test" performs CRC (Cycle Redundancy Check) of all files and allows storage of CRC database for later comparison. It also allows comparisons with other databases to check for corrupted file-data due to viruses, etc. The Lab test also displays or prints (to the PRT: device or file) the disk tree structure. "911-Recovery" mode allows you to recovers files from crashed filesystem to floppy or other AmigaDOS devices (filesystems). 911-Recovery works like a selective backup without going through AmigaDOS to recover lost files. Antiseptic Function wipes all evidence of information from a disk. It will prevent the recovery of information from your hard drive-ideal for security concerns. It will either work in "Free-Space" mode, or wipe the entire device. The new "Ami-Sched II" works for both Ami-Back Tools and Ami-Back (not included). It allows to schedule Ami-Back Tools events (such as the Analyst) to examine your file system and repair it un-attended. Ami-Sched II supports any number of events over any time frame. Ami-Sched II is quite small and system resource efficient, running in the background. "AmiBack Tools" supports all standard Amiga file systems including AmigaDOS 3.0 directory caching file system. It is very flexible in it's "User" configuration in screen/window definitions - supporting many screen modes. The optional caching mode will cache read/write operations for maximum speed. Ami-Back Tools is has built security checks so the user is never caught off-guard and executes a destructive command inadvertantly. There is even a log file kept to keep track of what you do. There is also an RDB (Rigid Disk Block) "Read" and "Write" allowing to save them, and restore them as well if need be. System Requirments - Any Amiga running WorkBench v1.3 or higher. - 512k Memory The List Price for AmiBack tools is $79.95 (US Funds). There are competitive upgrade offers available to owners of other products. Contact Moonlighter for information. Moonlighter Software Development, Inc. 3208-C E.
