BETA SITE ERROR LOGGING UTILITY
===============================
Included with this beta package is a small program to help Arcada
Software track your bug reports.  Error.exe is a VB 3.0 application that
creates an ASCII text file called Error.log.  If the program doesn't run,
please download the Vb30run.dll from the Arcada Software BBS.

To use Error.exe, simply enter your name, the version number of the beta
release found in the Help -> About Arcada Backup dialog box, the short
title or bug description, and the full description of the error and how
you encountered it.  When reporting a bug that occurred with an error
message on the screen, please include in your report the first two lines
of the error message that describe the file name and line number that
caused the assertion.  Every time you enter a bug report into the system,
it will append the Error.log file in the Arcada Backup directory. Please
be sure to upload this file to Arcada Software via Internet address:
Minkrott@Arcada.com, or to our BBS system at:  805-782-4368.

ARCADA SOFTWARE CAN ONLY ACCEPT BUG REPORTS CREATED WITH THE ERROR LOG
SYSTEM; VERBAL REPORTS BY PHONE OR FAXED REPORTS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED.

After uploading the Error.log file, you can delete it from your system;
it will be recreated the next time you use the error tracking program.
Thank you for your help and cooperation, it is greatly appreciated!



LIST OF KNOWN LIMITATIONS AND PROBLEMS

drives on the network.  UNC paths are currently not supported by the 
QIC engine.

currently not working with Windows 95.  If you own one of these
controllers, contact Future Domain to resolve the problem.

ATAPI tape devices (IDE interface) are not supported by the Windows 95
operating system.  Contact Microsoft for more information.

[On-line Help]
On-line help is available, but incomplete.

[Wizards]

[Scheduled Backups]
Automatic loading of the backup application when jobs are scheduled
is not yet available.  You must keep the application loaded for
scheduled jobs to run.

[Excluded Files]
Selecting files to be excluded from a backup operation is not functional.
The user interface is provided in the Backup Options dialog, but the
selections chosen by the user are not yet used by the application during
the backup operation.

This release does not yet support viewing a directory from information
on a tape in a device.  Currently, files must be selected for restore
using information from the tape catalog.

not fully implemented.  Use the mouse pointer to move around the window and
select buttons.

[Modifying Job]
Changes made to an existing backup job are not being saved.

[Password Protected Backup]
An assertion error is generated when starting a backup after checking
the password box and entering a password in the Backup Job Options
dialog box. 

[Windows 95 Compatibility]
The application only runs on the latest "Gold" beta release of Windows 95
(Version 4.00.950).

tape, be sure to remove the tape from the drive before clicking "OK" when
prompted to overwrite tape.
