Hdbackup: Does anyone use it?? Trying to use Hdbackup in the Workbench 2.04 tools drawer; When I follow all the example instructions in the users manual, the initial commands, like for checking the number of disks required, seem to work OK, but when I get down to "Start" (click on the start gadget), the system locks up. The book says I am supposed to get a window which warns that I will erase dF0: … That window never appears, "quit" in the first menu then wont work, and I have to reboot to get anywhere. I use BRU for backing up from the shell window and everything works just as described in the manual. It appears to me that the Hdbackup icon is supposed to act as a shell for the BRU commands, so somehow the icon is failing to communicate with BRU. But on the other hand, it does get through to BRU for the estimating of disks required. I inserted "Assign" commands for both BRU and Hdbackup, but they had no effect. I also tried putting "backup=dH0" and "start=on" tools in the icon–no effect. The only thing "nonstock" that I have is that Crossdos is installed so that two more floppies; "PC0:" and "PC1" appear along with the "dF0" and "dF1". How can you even work on a problem like this lockup? Is there a debugging procedure for capturing the commands and error messages that pass between the icon and BRU?
