Sytos Plus File Backup Manager for OS/2 v. 1.33 (7/1/1992, Sytron Corporation) Readme/What's new
------------------------------------------------------ 1. NEW FEATURES ------------------------------------------------------ a. PROGRESS INDICATOR The percentage complete indicator that is displayed in the Status window during a Backup or Move procedure has been enhanced with a graphical progress indicator. The horizontal bar indicator increments as the Backup or Move Procedure executes. b. IBM PS/2 REWRITABLE OPTICAL DRIVE SUPPORT The IBM PS/2 Rewritable Optical Drive can be configured as a backup device for Sytos Plus in two ways: as a removable logical device or as a fixed logical device. There are two different Sytos Plus device drivers for the two configurations: Removable Logical Device: IBM Optical-Entire Fixed Logical Device: IBM Optical-Partial NOTE: The two drivers are not compatible. Media that has been used for backing up to the default directory (root directory) on an optical drive using the "IBM Optical- Partial" driver must be reformatted from OS/2 before it can be used on an optical drive using the "IBM Optical-Entire" driver. The next two sections provide instructions for configuring an Optical Drive. 1. Configuring the Optical Drive as a Removable Logical Device To configure an Optical Drive as a removable logical device, refer to the Section "Removable Logical Device Support: IBM PS/2 3.5" Rewritable Optical Drive" in this README file. When an Optical Drive is configured as a removable logical device, Sytos Plus provides the following support: - Multiple device: More than one Optical Drive can be used for a single Procedure. - Multiple media: When end of media is reached, Sytos Plus prompts for new media. NOTE: An Optical Drive configured as a removable drive does not require formatted media. However, backups to unformatted media take longer than backups to formatted media. 2. Configuring the Optical Drive as a Fixed Logical Device To configure an Optical Drive as a fixed logical device, refer to the section "Fixed Logical Device" in this README file. When an Optical Drive is configured as a fixed logical device, Sytos Plus provides the following support: - Multiple fixed logical devices: The optical drive can be used with other devices such as fixed disk, network drives, or other Optical Drives configured as fixed devices. (Floppy devices are not supported.) - Fixed media: You must use formatted media and must allocate enough space on the media for the files you backup. You do not have the option of inserting new media. NOTE: You must use formatted media. You may then partition it, or use the entire media. c. REMOVABLE LOGICAL DEVICE SUPPORT: IBM PS/2 3.5" REWRITABLE OPTICAL DRIVE This release of Sytos Plus has the capability to Backup to and Restore from the IBM PS/2 3.5" Rewritable Optical Drive (Rewritable Optical Drive). Before you can configure the drive in Sytos Plus as a backup device, it must be accessible from your operating System. (To verify that you can change to the drive, type the assigned drive letter from the system prompt.) Two additional device drivers, SCSI.SYS and OPTICAL.SYS must already be installed to access the device. If you have not installed these device drivers, refer to the IBM Personal System/2 Rewritable Optical Drive Setup Instructions that come with the device. To configure the Rewritable Optical Drive as a Sytos Plus backup device, ensure that the device is powered on and has media inserted. Media does not have to be formatted; however, backups to unformatted media will take longer than backups to formatted media. (continued on next screen) Follow these steps. 1. Select "Add new device" under "Utilities: Backup Device Setup". Refer to the "Utilities: Backup Device Setup" section in the User's Guide to add the backup device. 2. Select one or more Rewritable Optical Drives from the drive list. 3. Select OK. Multiple Rewritable Optical Drives can be cascaded; that is, several drives can be used for a single procedure. This is useful when performing Unattended Backups for a large number of files. If your backup set does not fit on one media, Sytos Plus prompts for additional media. d. FIXED LOGICAL DEVICE (FIXED DISK) SUPPORT This release of Sytos Plus has the capability to Backup to and Restore from logical devices including: local drives, network drives, and the IBM PS/2 3.5" Rewritable Optical Drive This capability does not support floppy drives. Before you can configure a drive in Sytos Plus as a backup device, it must be accessible from your operating system. (To verify that you can change to the drive, type the assigned letter followed by a colon, from the system prompt.) Two additional device drivers, OPTICAL.SYS and SCSI.SYS must already be installed to access a Rewritable Optical Drive. If you have not installed these device drivers, refer to the "IBM Personal System/2 Rewritable Optical Drive Setup Instructions" that came with your device. To use a Rewritable Optical Drive as a non-removable logical backup device, it must have formatted media installed. Several drives can be cascaded; that is, space on several drives can be used for a single Procedure. You must ensure that the total amount of space allocated on the drives in a cascaded configuration is sufficient for the amount of data to be backed up. A Backup Procedure will not be able to complete without sufficient space. NOTE: You must have read and write access rights to any drive that you wish to configure as a Sytos Plus logical device. To add the Fixed Logical Device: 1. Select "Add new device" under "Utilities: Backup Device Setup". 2. Select the Non-removable driver from the list. 3. Select a drive from the "Setup Backup Device" window. 4. Edit the selected drive to specify a pathname, and allocate space. 5. If you want to add additional drives, select and edit each drive as described in steps 3 and 4. 6. Select [OK] e. SUPPORT FOR TAPE DRIVES IN THE MICROSOFT OS/2 1.3 LADDR ENVIRONMENT This release of Sytos Plus supports Microsoft's OS/2 1.3 Layered Device Driver Architecture (LADDR) for SCSI adapters. Sytos Plus provides device drivers for SCSI tape drives in the LADDR environment. Refer to the flyer entitled "Installing Sytos Plus Device Drivers in the Microsoft OS/2 LADDR Environment", included in your Sytos Plus package. NOTE: Sytos Plus continues to support versions of OS/2 that do not incorporate LADDR, and continues to support non-SCSI tape drives. f. RESTORING DIRECTORY INFORMATION A new option has been added to the existing Restore Options. This option allows you to Restore directory information (for example, Directory Extended Attributes [EAs], and LAN Manager/LAN Server Access Control Lists [ACLs]) along with file information. To select this option, perform the following steps at the "Restore: Options..." window: 1. Select other Restore options you want for this Restore Procedure. 2. Select "Restore Directory Information". 3. When you have finished, choose [OK]. NOTE: If you do not select the Restore Directory Information option, only your file information will be restored. g. USING TEXT FILES INSTEAD OF SELECTION SHEETS From the command line you can now specify a Selection Sheet File which temporarily replaces the Selection Sheet for a Procedure. Using a Selection Sheet File, you can specify a list of files which you want to include in the Procedure you are about to run. After the Procedure runs, the original Selection Sheet for the Procedure is restored, and the Selection Sheet File can be used again. To use the Selection Sheet File feature, you must first create a Selection Sheet File and then specify the file in the command line. To create and use a Selection Sheet File, follow Steps 1 and 2 below: 1. Create the Selection Sheet File by following these steps: a. Using any text editor, create the Selection Sheet File (ASCII file) that contains the entire pathnames of the file(s) that you want to include in your procedure. You can use wild cards (* or ?) for filenames. Refer to the User's Guide chapter, "Advanced Features: Using Selection Sheets" for detailed information. b. After entering the pathname of the file(s) you want selected, add any of the following file options (in upper or lower case) after the pathname: S - Include subdirectories C - Only Changed Files E - Make this an Exclude Rule c. Place comments at the end of any line containing a pathname, or on a separate line. The "greater than" character must precede the comment. NOTE: You may leave any amount of white space between comments, or enter as many comments as you like. A sample Selection Sheet File follows: D:\PROJECTS\PLANS\* D:\TOPICS\NEW.* S E C:\CURRENT\ALL.DOC s d. Save the Selection Sheet File with a unique name and extension (for example SAMPLE.SEL). You can place it under the directory where Sytos Plus was installed. 2. Enter the following at the command line: SYPLUS "PROCEDURE NAME" /F(Filename) NOTE: The Procedure name must be enclosed in quotation marks. There is no space between /F and Filename. You can use -F instead of /F if you choose. If the directory where you installed Sytos Plus is included in your path, then the Selection Sheet File must be located in the directory from which you are running Sytos Plus. If Sytos Plus is not included in your path, then the Selection Sheet File must be in the directory where you installed Sytos Plus. If neither of these is the case, you have to specify the complete pathname of the Selection Sheet File. Sytos Plus will now run your Procedure using the Selection Sheet File entered on the command line. For additional information on running Sytos Plus from the command line, refer to "Command Line Operations" in the User's Guide. NOTE: If you have problems running the Procedure, re-enter the command line ending with "/A" to generate an error message. Review the error message and its Help, and make the necessary corrections. h. INSTALLING ADDITIONAL DRIVERS A new feature has been added to the "Utilities: Backup Device Setup" window. This feature makes it easier for you to add a device driver from a Driver Diskette if Sytos Plus is already installed. To add a device driver using this new feature, follow these steps: 1. Under the "Utilities: Backup Device Setup" window, select "Driver Disk". The "Load Device Drivers Diskette" window pops up. 2. Insert the diskette containing the device drivers into your disk drive. In the "Load Device Drivers Diskette" window, enter the letter that represents your drive (A: is the default). Select [OK]. 3. The "Select Backup Device Drivers" window pops up with a list of available drivers. Select each driver that you wish to add and select [OK]. 4. Exit and restart Sytos Plus to update the list of available drivers. 5. To add the device, refer to "Utilities: Backup device setup" in the User's Guide for detailed instructions on backup device setup. i. FULL OS/2 RESTORE Sytos Plus now includes a default Procedure, "Full OS/2 Restore". Full OS/2 Restore automatically redirects OS/2 system files, as outlined in the Getting Started booklet, in the section "Restoring OS/2 User and System Files". j. SYTOS PLUS RUNS IN BACKGROUND IN UNATTENDED MODE When you run Sytos Plus in unattended mode, it runs in the background, appearing as an icon on your screen.
