HDBackup
3 messages in this thread
Hi all,
I can't seem to get the HDBackup program that came with 2.1 to work
properly. The data compress won't work and a couple of other option are
always blanked out. The program does'nt seem to access the BRU program in
the TOOLS directory. The HDBackup.config file is set up properly to the
best of my knowledge, but anything I try to make it work the way it's
suppose to fails Could someone please tell me what wrong and how to fix it.
Thanx,

Mark,
The best way to fix the problem is to delete HDBackup and buy AmiBack
or Quarterback. Data compression just plain does not work but worse than
that many people have made backups with it thinking that everything was
fine only to find that when they needed to they could not restore their
data. I was very supprised to see that it was still included in it's
original 2.04 version on the 2.1 upgrade. There were many messages from
people having problems with it when 2.04 was first released and I assumed
they would either fix it or get rid of it on the next release.

Dennis,
I think the reason that HDBackup was left in in its 2.04 version was to
make up for the missing Diskdoctor that was useless since the 1.x versions
of the OS. Something useless must always be included with the OS maybe any
OS for that matter. And the thing that was useful for others was also
removed, the speech feature, but the one thing that is totally glaring
because of its complete absence is the C= NON-CDROM support for its most
powerful computer yet released to market, and the ill-designed bay that
should be housing it!
I agreee with you. The best thing to do with HDBackup is to delete it and
buy either AmiBack or Quarterback.
