Short: FBackNG - Daily backup/mirror program. Author: ceppe@pandora.be Uploader: ceppe@pandora.be Version: 0.9.5 BETA Type: disk/bakup Requires: XPK Introduction -------------- 'FBackNG' is a daily backup tool. It will check files and copy them to your backup location if they changed. Additionally it runs a scan between the original location and the backup, and updates the backup creating a mirror this way. Working in this fashion will get you up and running again after HD problems/replacement. See example section for common usages (in manual). The program will include a batch mode, paths and options are then specified with a configuration file. Several location entries will be allowed. Changes (in relation to FBack/FMirror V1.8): - complete rewrite of directory/file parser to support any partition size with any number of files. - added features to enhance portability (standard ANSI functions and UNIX command line parsing). - the program now comprises the two functionalities of the fback/fmirror suite, one program serves all. The program will now run in phases. First a backup phase will run which saves all changed files, then if you specify it, a mirror phase is executed. It will synchronise the backup with the original. You can also specify to skip backup phase and only run a mirror phase. - extra care has been taken to make it idiot proof, extensive reporting and distinct error detection to make troubleshooting easier.
