Aptiva - Backup utility in IBM PC-DOS 6.3
Applicable to: United States
CPBACKUP (Central Point Backup) is provided in IBM PC-DOS 6.3 for file backup and restore functions. CPBACKUP is available as a full-screen or DOS command-line utility program, as well as a fully-functional Windows program.
With CPBACKUP, backup copies of data can be made to diskettes, tape, or other DOS drives. You can backup files using full, incremental, differential, or unattended methods. You can compare, compress, encrypt, and virus-check data as it is backed up.
CPBACKUP also provides facilities that allow you to tailor it for general and specific needs. For example, you can create and utilize set-up files for specific directories or file types, rather than backing up all files or all directories.
For a complete description of CPBACKUP facilities and how to use them, enter the command CPBACKUP from a DOS prompt and press the "F1" key for help. If you are using the Windows version of CPBACKUP, select Help from the top menu bar.
Notes:
1. Commands used to back up data require a compatible command to restore the data. For example, if you use the CPBACKUP command to start the full-screen Central Point Backup program, you must use the Restore function available from this same full-screen Backup program. The MSBACKUP program provided with Microsoft's MS-DOS, therefore, is only compatible with its companion RESTORE facility.
2. Backups made using the BACKUP command of earlier DOS versions cannot be restored with CPBACKUP, nor can backups made with CPBACKUP be restored using the RESTORE command provided with earlier versions of DOS.
3. When Microsoft Windows 95 is installed on a system that previously used IBM PC-DOS, the CPBACKUP functions should not be used with the new operating system. The CPBACKUP program that is included with IBM PC-DOS was not designed to run in Windows 95. You must obtain a backup program that is compatible with Windows 95 from a software store or other vendor. Using the CPBACKUP program that is included with PC-DOS on a system that has Windows 95 installed will, at best, result in incomplete and incorrect backups. At worst, CPBACKUP may cause the Windows 95 system to hang or otherwise fail.
