Requires: OS2.0+, 2MB memory, powerpacker.library (NOT included)


  That's a simple backup program to save your hard disc on floppy
  discs. I don't expect anybody to use it seriously, but I do.
  For large data you better use a CD ROM. But for anybody who wants
  to create a backup program have a look at the source code. The
  most annoying thing is the user interface, known as GUI. So I used
  the powerful Interface language of AMOS Professional. You also need
  the AMCAF extension for many commands, or you write library calls
  yourself.

  Features:
  ~~~~~~~~~
   - backup data onto DD or HD floppies
   - redirection to hard disc for a faster backup
   - backup selection tree: select complete dirs or single files
   - restore simulation for testing data written on floppies
   - recoverable restoration if data of one file are corrupt
   - savable history list for backup and restoration
   - simple usage, also without reading the guide
   - with source for interested programmers

  Things TO DO:
  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
   - better split up files into 64K blocks to support large files on
     low memory systems, which may increases compressed size
   - add multitasking to do other things while backup/restore operation
     works in the background
