                        Tape Drive Selection

Tape Unit Address -
        When one or more tape units are attached, the 'default' (or no entry)
        setting causes the tape unit at the lowest address to be used.  You
        must leave at 'default' if a multiple unit sequence is specified
        (see above).  However, if you wish to use a tape unit which is NOT at
        the lowest of two or more active tape unit addresses, simply enter 
        the tape unit's address here (0 to 30) you wish to use.

Hardware Density -
        Allows the manipulation of the density on certain tape drives.
        
Sequential Stacker - 
        If set to 'yes' then an unload command is issued if the end of the 
        tape is reached, causing the next tape in sequence to be loaded in 
        order to continue the backup.
        If set to 'eject' the above is still true.  The difference is that 
        the stacker ejects the tape at the completion of a backup.  If a 
        verify is done too, then tape rewinds after backup, the verify is 
        done, then the tape ejects.

Random Stacker Sequence -
        If a random stacker is installed on the tape unit, enter a list from
        1 to 10 in the order of tapes you wish to use.  You should set
        Sequential Stacker to 'no' if the random stacker is used, and vise
        versa.  The numbers entered here should be separated by commas.

Cascaded Unit Sequence -
        If more than one tape unit is used for a single backup, enter the 
        tape unit address (0 to 30) in the order they are to be used.  These 
        tape units must all be the same type, that is, streamer, Exabyte, 
        9-track, 3480, etc.  This option should not be used if either 
        sequential or random stacker is used.

@U01S07

                        Test Tape Read\Write

The options that you choose here will allow to verify that the tape drive
is working by taking these steps:
     
     1) Connect your drive to your computer using the supplied SCSI cable,
        then switch on power to the tape drive.
     2) Load a tape into the tape drive.  YOU WILL OVERWRITE any 
        previously recorded data (you may wish to use a fresh tape).
     3) When the menu appears, choose option 'SENSE SCSI BUS.'  Your 
        tape drive's name should appear in the list of SCSI tape devices
        detected.  With the drive's name highlighted, press ENTER to access
        your drive.
     4) Now select the option, 'RUN TEST.'  This will write some data to the 
        tape; then verify by reading the data.
     5) Once this data has been read and verified, you are ready to use the 
        software.

@M03S01
                Initial Options for Backup file Selection
 
The options set here are the initial options that will be in effect when
starting backup file selection.  They may be changed at any time from within
the file selection routine.  Position the cursor using the arrow keys then
press ENTER to toggle the value at the cursor.  Press F10 when changes are
complete.  Press ESC to exit without updating the options.
 
The meanings of the options are as follows:
 
Backup readonly files -
    If set to 'yes' then files marked as readonly will be backed up.
 
Backup hidden files -
    If set to 'yes' then files marked as hidden will be backed up.
 
Backup system files -
    If set to 'yes' then files marked as system will be backed up.
 
When the above options are set to 'no', then the corresponding files are not
displayed for selection and cannot be tagged for backup.
 
Backup Novell network trustee rights -
    If set to 'yes' then trustee rights for directories residing on the file
    server may be backed up.  If this option is set to 'yes' trustee rights
    appear as a special file name '@_TRUST_.RTS'.  When this file name is
    tagged, then the trustee rights are backed up.
 
Backup subdirectories -
    If set to 'yes' then tagging a volume or directory will also cause all
    directories below it (i.e. that entire branch of the directory tree) to
    be backed up.
 
Backup only modified files -
    If set to 'yes' then only files with the archive indicator set will be
    backed up.  This indicator is set when a file is created and whenever
    it is changed or added to by any program.  This indicator may be set off
    by archive programs such as this one (see the next option) when a file
    archived.  Setting this option to 'yes', then may be used to backup only
    files which have been added or changed since the last backup.
 
Update archive indicator for backed up files -
    If set to 'yes' then each file which is backed up will have its archive
    indicator set off.  See discussion above under 'Backup only modified
    files'.
 
Prompt operator before each file -
    If set to 'yes' then the backup program will display the name of each
    file before backing it up and the operator may choose whether or not
    to backup that file.

Backup logging option - 
    You may set this option to have a log file created which shows all 
    backed up items (including possible errors). You may view this file
    which has the ".BLG" extension by selecting Utility Functions from
    the Main Menu, then selecting View / Delete Log Files. 

Verify logging option -
    You may set this option to have a log file created which shows all 
    verified items (including possible errors). Of course, a verify log
    file will only be created if you answer "YES" to when prompted to
    perform a verify after backup. You may view this file which has the
    ".VLG" extension by selecting Utility Functions from the Main Menu,
    then selecting View / Delete Log Files.

Software compression type -
    If this option is set to 'No Compression', the backup does a straight
    unmodified file by file copy to the tape. If this option is set to 
    'PK Implode', the backup compresses each file before doing a copy of 
    the file to the tape.

Show backup percent complete graphic -
    If set to 'yes' then the backup program will display a thermometer 
    showing the progress of the backup.  If set to 'no', a thermometer
    will not appear.

@M04S01
                      File Selection for Backup
 
This screen is used to allow files and directories to be tagged for backup.
The second line from the top of the screen shows the complete path name of
the directory being shown.  Use the PgUp, PgDown, and the arrow keys to view
the entire directory and position the cursor at the desired location.
When all desired files have been selected, press F10 to start the backup.
 
Information displayed on the screen:
 
Directories = The number of subdirectory entries within this directory.
Files = The number of files in this directory.
Bytes = The total number of bytes in all the files in this directory.
 
Each subdirectory and file within the directory are listed.  For each file
the size, date, and time are listed.  Following the date and time are the
indicators set for that file.  They are as follows:
        A = Archive indicator set     (updated/created since last backup)
        R = File is marked readonly   (cannot be updated or erased)
        H = File is marked as hidden  (does not show on directory listings)
        S = File is marked as system  (part of the DOS system)
 
The options available from this screen are -
 
Space bar -  This toggles the backup tag for the file or directory name at the
        cursor.  If a directory name (or volume) is tagged, that implies
        tagging all files within that directory.  If the 'subdirectories'
        option is set to 'yes' then all subdirectories under it are also
        backed up.
 
ENTER key -  This key is only valid when the cursor is positioned on a
        volume or directory entry.  It causes the selected directory to be
        displayed.
 
ESC key   -  This causes the display to exit back to the previous (parent)
        directory.  If the highest (system) directory is currently displayed,
        the ESC key allows you to exit without doing a backup.
 
W key     -  This selects a routine which allows you to tag or untag groups
        of files by wildcard name.  Only files within this directory are
        tagged by this routine, names of directories are not.
 
P key     -  This selects a routine which will print or display a complete
        summary of the directory (or volume) at the cursor position.  This
        lists all the directory structure within the selected directory
        giving the number of files and bytes within each directory.
 
F2 key    -  This allows setting the following parameters for backup:
 
        Backup only files modified since last backup      yes/no
        Update archive indicator for backed up files      yes/no
        Prompt operator before backing up each file       yes/no
        Create log listing level   None/Subdirectories/All Files
        Backup only files dated after 
        Backup only files dated before 
 
        Press F1 for help after selecting F2 for details on these parameters.
 
F3 key    -  This allows setting the following options for backup:
 
        Backup readonly files        yes/no       (Alt-R)
        Backup hidden files          yes/no       (Alt-H)
        Backup system files          yes/no       (Alt-S)
        Backup trustee rights        yes/no       (Alt-T)
        Backup lower subdirectories  yes/no       (Alt-D)
 
        The current settings of these options are displayed at the lower
        right of the screen.  These options may also be toggled from the
        file selection screen by pressing the keys indicated above.
 
        Press F1 for help after selecting F3 for details on these options.
 
@M05S01
             Parameters to be set from backup file selection
 
The parameter values set here apply to the current directory and all
directories under it in the directory tree.  They will not affect the backup
process on any other directories.  If you wish to set values to apply to the
entire backup, then they must be set from the system level (i.e. the first
screen that appears upon entering file selection mode showing all the DOS
volumes).  To change the yes/no options place the cursor on the parameter
and press ENTER to toggle the value between 'yes' and 'no'.  To set the
before and after date compares, type in the date (and time) in the requested
format.  When changes are complete, press F10 to update the parameters.
Press ESC if you wish to leave without updating.
 
The parameters that can be set here are as follows:
 
Prompt operator before each file -
    If set to 'yes' then the backup program will display the name of each
    file before backing it up and the operator may choose whether or not
    to backup that file.
 
Backup only modified files -
    If set to 'yes' then only files with the archive indicator set will be
    backed up.  This indicator is set when a file is created and whenever
    it is changed or added to by any program.  This indicator may be set off
    by archive programs such as this one (see the next option) when a file
    archived.  Setting this option to 'yes', then may be used to backup only
    files which have been added or changed since the last backup.
 
Update archive indicator -
    If set to 'yes' then each file which is backed up will have its archive
    indicator set off.  See discussion above under 'Backup only modified
    files'.
 
Create log listing level -
    This specifies whether or not the backup will generate a log file of error
    messages and files processed, allowing you to see what happened during the
    backup. This log file, placed in the INDEX subdirectory, may be viewed by
    selecting the utility menu from the Main Menu.

Backup only files dated after:
    If a date (and optionally a time) is entered here then only files with
    a file date on or after that date will be backed up.  The format for
    entering the date and time is 'mm/dd/yy hh:mm'.  The time (hh:mm) may
    be omitted if desired.
 
Backup only files dated before:
    If a date (and optionally a time) is entered here then only files with
    a file date on or before that date will be backed up.  The format for
    entering the date and time is 'mm/dd/yy hh:mm'.  The time (hh:mm) may
    be omitted if desired.
 
@M06S01
                Backup Options to be Set from File Selection
 
The option values set here apply to the current directory and all
directories under it in the directory tree.  They will not affect the backup
process on any other directories.  If you wish to set values to apply to the
entire backup, then they must be set from the system level (i.e. the first
screen that appears upon entering file selection mode showing all the DOS
volumes).
 
  These options may be toggled from the file selection screen by
holding the Alt key and pressing the key indicated below for each option.
 
Backup readonly files (Alt-R) -
    If set to 'yes' then files marked as readonly will be backed up.
 
Backup hidden files (Alt-H) -
    If set to 'yes' then files marked as hidden will be backed up.
 
Backup system files (Alt-S) -
    If set to 'yes' then files marked as system will be backed up.
 
When the above options are set to 'no', then the corresponding files are not
displayed for selection and cannot be tagged for backup.
 
Backup Novell network trustee rights (Alt-T) -
    If set to 'yes' then trustee rights for directories residing on the file
    server may be backed up.  If this option is set to 'yes' trustee rights
    appear as a special file name '@_TRUST_.RTS'.  When this file name is
    tagged, then the trustee rights are backed up.
 
Backup subdirectories (Alt-D) -
    If set to 'yes' then tagging a volume or directory will also cause all
    directories below it (i.e. that entire branch of the directory tree) to
    be backed up.
 
Use the arrow keys to move the cursor to any options you wish to change.
Pressing the ENTER key will then toggle that option between 'yes' and 'no'.
When all changes have been made, press F10 to update the options and return
to the file selection screen.  To leave without updating, press ESC.
 
@M07S01
      The tape currently mounted has previously been used for backup.
 
The date and time for the FIRST backup set on the tape are shown.  If multiple
backup sets are on the tape, they will have a more recent date/time than the
one shown.  The options which may be selected are as follows:
 
    Change tape cartridge
        This means you have decided not to write on this tape.  You will be
        asked to mount another tape cartridge.  After the program has checked
        it you will come back to this screen again.
 
    Overwrite the current data
        If you choose this opiton, the backup data will be written starting
        at the beginning of the tape.  All previous data on the tape is erased.
 
    Write after the current data
        If you choose this option, the backup data will be written after the
        current data on the tape.  All previous backup sets remain available
        and can still be restored from.
 
Use the arrow keys to place the hi-lite bar on the option you wish to choose
and press ENTER to select that option.  Press ESC if you decide not to do the
backup.
 
@M07S02
                      Data on tape is not recognized.
 
The data (if any) on the tape is not recognized.  That is, the last time this
tape was used, it was not used by Novaback as a backup tape.  The options
which may be selected are as follows:
 
    Change tape cartridge
        This means you have decided not to write on this tape.  You will be
        asked to mount another tape cartridge.  After the program has checked
        it you will come back to this screen again.
 
    Overwrite the current data
        If you choose this opiton, the backup data will be written starting
        at the beginning of the tape.  All previous data on the tape is erased.
 
Use the arrow keys to place the hi-lite bar on the option you wish to choose
and press ENTER to select that option.  Press ESC if you decide not to do the
backup.
 
@M08S01
                    Select Backup Procedure to Run.
 
This routine allows you to select a previously created backup procedure to
be run.  Backup procedures are created by running 'Select files for backup'
and saving the procedure with a name and description after completion of file
selection.  All previously defined procedure names and descriptions are
displayed.  If there are more names than can be displayed on the screen at one
time, you may use the arrow keys and PgUp and PgDown to view all the names.
Place the hi-lite bar on the procedure you wish to run, and press ENTER.
 
@M09S01
                Restore Data from Tape to Disk.
 
Insert the tape cartridge that you wish to restore from. Then if the tape
has more than one backup set, enter the backup set number that you wish to
restore from.  If the tape has only one backup set then the backup set
number should be entered as one (1).  When the tape cartridge has been
inserted and the correct backup set number has been entered, press the
ENTER key.
 
The program checks the requested backup set and tries to locate the index
for that backup that was created when the backup was done (these are the
.AIX and .BIX files in the backup directory).  If the correct index is
not found, it reads the tape and recreates the index files.
 
@M10S01
                      File Selection For Restore
 
This screen is used to allow files and directories to be tagged for restore.
The second line from the top of the screen shows the complete path name of
the directory being shown.  Use PgUp, PgDown, and the arrow keys to view the
entire directory and to position the cursor at the desired location.
when all desired files have been selected, press F10 to start the restore.
 
 
Each subdirectory and file within the directory are listed.  For each file
the size, date, and time are listed.  Following the date and time are the
indicators set for that file.  They are as follows:
 
        R = File is marked readonly   (cannot be updated or erased)
        H = File is marked as hidden  (does not show on directory listings)
        S = File is marked as system  (part of the DOS system)
 
The options available from this screen are -
 
Space bar -  This toggles the restore tag for the file or directory name at
        the cursor.  If a directory name (or volume) is tagged, that implies
        tagging all files within that directory.  If the 'subdirectories'
        option is set to 'yes' then all subdirectories under it are also
        restored.
 
ENTER key -  This key is only valid when the cursor is positioned on a
        volume or directory entry.  It causes the selected directory to be
        displayed.
 
ESC key   -  This causes the display to exit back to the previous (parent)
        directory.  If the highest (system) directory is currently displayed,
        the ESC key allows you to exit without doing a restore.
 
Ctl-A key -  This tags a file or directory for restore, then allows you to 
        enter a different volume, directory, or file name rather than 
        restoring it to the same directory and file name it was backed up 
        from.  Something special about this is that all files tagged in the 
        current directory and in the directory levels below it, will be 
        restored to the new root vol/path specified here.  The lower level 
        directory structure and names are preserved.

Ctl-T key -  This tags a file or directory for restore, then allows you to
        enter an different  volume, directory, or file name for it to be
        restored to rather than restoring it to the same directory and file
        name it was backed up from.
 
W key     -  This selects a routine which allows you to tag or untag groups
        of files by wildcard name.  Only files within this directory are
        tagged by this routine, names of directories are not.
 
P key     -  This selects a routine which will print or display a complete
        summary of the directory (or volume) at the cursor position.  This
        lists all the directory structure within the selected directory
        giving the number of files and bytes within each directory.
 
F2 key    -  This allows setting the following parameters for backup:
 
        Prompt before copying each file                   yes/no
        Copy only files modified since last backup        yes/no
        Write over existing equal file names              yes/no
        Create log listing level   None/Subdirectories/All Files
        Restore only files dated after a specified date
        Restore only files dated before a specified date
 
        Press F1 for help after selecting F2 for details on these parameters.
 
F3 key    -  This allows setting the following options for backup:
 
        Restore readonly files        yes/no       (Alt-R)
        Restore hidden files          yes/no       (Alt-H)
        Restore system files          yes/no       (Alt-S)
        Restore trustee rights        yes/no       (Alt-T)
        Restore lower subdirectories  yes/no       (Alt-D)
 
        The current settings of these options are displayed at the lower
        right of the screen.  These options may also be toggled from the
        file selection screen by pressing the keys indicated above.
 
        Press F1 for help after selecting F3 for details on these options.
 
@M10S02
              Specify an alternate destination for restore.
 
You may specify the alternate destination in three different ways:
 
    1.  Only a different volume.  In this case the entry being tagged will be
        restored to a different volume but will retain the same directory and
        file name(s).  For example, if the entry was backed up from C: and
        you wish to restore it to D:, simply enter 'D:' as the destination.
 
        Another example.  Suppose you have backed up a complete volume 'C:'
        and you wish to recreate it placing it on volume 'D:'.  Tag the
        volume entry for C: and specify a destination of D:  In order for
        the subdirectories to be recreated, the 'Subdirectories' option
        must be set to 'yes'.
 
    2.  A different volume and directory path.  In this case the file
        (or entire directory) being tagged will be restored to the specified
        location.  When entering only a volume and subdirectory path, the
        entry must end with the back slash (\) character to differentiate
        it from a specific file name.  For example, to restore the
        file/directory to destination C:\ABC, it must be entered as:
 
                c:\abc\
 
    3.  A different volume, directory, and file name.  This is only valid
        when tagging files, not when tagging volumes or subdirectories.
        It completely renames the file being restored.
 
More notes on specifying an alternate destination for a directory -
 
When an alternate volume/path is specified as the destination for a
directory and the 'Subdirectories' option is specified as 'yes', then the
tagged directory and all its subdirectories are 'grafted onto' the
new destination path.  For example, suppose you tag directory C:\ABC giving
a new destination of C:\XYZ\.  The C:\ABC directory has subdirectories
C:\ABC\DEF, C:\ABC\GHI, and C:\ABC\GHI\JKL.  The restore will create
directories C:\XYZ, C:\XYZ\DEF, C:\XYZ\GHI, and C:\XYZ\GHI\JKL. In short,
the subdirectory structure under the tagged directory is preserved at the
new location.
 
 
@M11S01
            Parameters to be set from restore file selection.
 
 
The parameter values set here apply to the current directory and all
directories under it in the directory tree.  They will not affect the restore
process on any other directories.  If you wish to set values to apply to the
entire restore, then they must be set from the system level (i.e. the first
screen that appears upon entering file selection mode showing all the DOS
volumes).  To change the yes/no options place the cursor on the parameter
and press ENTER to toggle the value between 'yes' and 'no'.  To set the
before and after date compares, type in the date (and time) in the requested
format.  When changes are complete, press F10 to update the parameters.
Press ESC if you wish to leave without updating.
 
The parameters that can be set here are as follows:
 
Prompt operator before copying each file -
    If set to 'yes' then the backup program will display the name of each
    file before restoring it and the operator may choose whether or not
    to restore that file.
 
Copy only files modified since last backup -
    If set to 'yes' then the restore will only restore files which do not
    exist on the target disk, or have been changed since the backup was
    taken. 
 
Write over existing equal DOS file names -
    If set to 'yes' then files from tape will overwrite a file on disk if
    it has the same name, provided no other criterion set in this screen
    imposes further restrictions.

Create log listing level - 
    This specifies whether or not the restore will generate a log file of error
    messages and files processed, allowing you to see what happened during the
    restore. This log file, placed in the INDEX subdirectory, may be viewed by
    selecting the utility menu from the Main Menu.

Backup only files dated after:
    If a date (and optionally a time) is entered here then only files with
    a file date on or after that date will be restored.  The format for
    entering the date and time is 'mm/dd/yy hh:mm'.  The time (hh:mm) may
    be omitted if desired.
 
Backup only files dated before:
    If a date (and optionally a time) is entered here then only files with
    a file date on or before that date will be restored.  The format for
    entering the date and time is 'mm/dd/yy hh:mm'.  The time (hh:mm) may
    be omitted if desired.
 
@M12S01
 
               Restore Options to be Set from File Selection
 
The option values set here apply to the current directory and all
directories under it in the directory tree.  They will not affect the restore
process on any other directories.  If you wish to set values to apply to the
entire backup, then they must be set from the system level (i.e. the first
screen that appears upon entering file selection mode showing all the DOS
volumes).
 
  These options may be toggled from the file selection screen by
holding the Alt key and pressing the key indicated below for each option.
 
Backup readonly files (Alt-R) -
    If set to 'yes' then files marked as readonly will be restored up.
 
Backup hidden files (Alt-H) -
    If set to 'yes' then files marked as hidden will be restored up.
 
Backup system files (Alt-S) -
    If set to 'yes' then files marked as system will be restored up.
 
When the above options are set to 'no', then the corresponding files are not
displayed for selection and cannot be tagged for restore.
 
Backup Novell network trustee rights (Alt-T) -
    If set to 'yes' then trustee rights for directories residing on the file
    server may be restored.  If this option is set to 'yes' trustee rights
    appear as a special file name '@_TRUST_.RTS' if they were backed up.
    When this file name is tagged, then the trustee rights are restored.
 
Backup lower subdirectories (Alt-D) -
    If set to 'yes' then tagging a volume or directory will also cause all
    directories below it (i.e. that entire branch of the directory tree) to
    be restored.
 
Use the arrow keys to move the cursor to any options you wish to change.
Pressing the ENTER key will then toggle that option between 'yes' and 'no'.
When all changes have been made, press F10 to update the options and return
to the file selection screen.  To leave without updating, press ESC.
 
@M13S01
             Exit from File Selection to Continue backup.
 
The following options are presented:
 
   Verify tape after backup? (y/n):
        If this is set to yes, at the completion of the backup, the
        tape will be read back in and compared to the disk files.  Note
        that the verify operation is slower than backing up, so specifying
        this option will more than double the time required.
 
    Do you wish to save this procedure? (y/n):
        If this is set to yes, you will be asked to enter a name and
        description for this procedure.  If a backup procedure is not saved
        it is run only this one time and is not retained.
 
    Enter procedure name:
        Enter from one to eight characters.  The procedure is saved on the
        backup subdirectory using this name with an extension of .BUP.
 
    Title:
        Enter a description up to 30 characters.  This description is
        displayed along with the name when you are choosing a backup procedure
        to run.
 
    Do you wish to do the backup? (y/n):
        If you choose to save the procedure, you may elect not to actually
        run the backup procedure at this time.  If you enter 'no' here the
        procedure is saved but it is not actually run at this time.
 
@M14S01
               Tagging/Untagging files by wildcard name.
 
This routine will either tag or untag a group of files by the wildcard name
given.  Note that this does NOT affect the tags on subdirectory names.
 
    Tag or untag (t/u)
        Enter whether you wish the matching wildcard names to be tagged or
        untagged.
 
    Wildcard name:
        Enter a legal DOS wildcard name which may contain '*' and '?'
        characters.  Do NOT enter any volume or subdirectory path prefix.
 
@M15S01
                       Print Directory Summary
 
This routine will print a summary of the directory indicated by the current
cursor position.
 
    Enter output file (or PRN for print):
 
        If an output file name is entered, the directory summary will be
        placed in an Ascii file which may later be printed or 'typed'.
 
        If 'PRN' is entered, the summary will be sent directly to the
        printer.
 

@U01S01
                       Summarize A Backup Tape
 
 
This routine will read through an entire backup tape and list the contents.
The list may be directed to a DOS text file or directly to a printer.  In
either case, the list generated is suitable for printing.  That is, it has
page breaks and headings.
 
You will also be asked to specify how detailed a list you wish to get.
 
This routine lists all the backup sets contained on one physical tape
cartridge.
 
@U01S02
                 List One Backup Set from a Tape
 
This routine will read one backup set from a tape and list the contents.
The list may be directed to a DOS text file or directly to a printer.  In
either case, the list generated is suitable for printing.  That is, it has
page breaks and headings.
 
You will also be asked to specify how detailed a list you wish to get.
 
This routine lists one backup set from a tape cartridge.
 
@U01S03
                     Verify a Backup Set
 
This routine allows a backup set from a tape to be compared back to the
original disk data.  This is the same verify routine that is run if you
specify the verify option when doing a backup.
 
You are asked which backup set on the tape you wish to verify.
 
@U01S04
                       View / Delete Backup logs

This routine allows you to display and delete backup set indexes (used by
Novaback - using 'AIX' and 'BIX' file extension names) and log files (for
your use - using 'BLG', 'VLG', and 'RLG' file extension names). Remember that
the existence of some log files depend on your parameter settings options from
the 'Main Menu' of from the 'Select Files for Backup Menu'.

@U01S05
                       Check / Format Tapes

Selecting this option results in the display of another menu which avails you
to these actions:

Check for Backup data -
     This does a 'quick check' to see if any data has been written to the 
     tape at all. If so, the date and time the first backup set was written
     to the tape will be shown on the screen.

Format the Tape (4mm only) -
     This applies only to 4mm DAT tape units or QFA (Quick File Acces) tape
     units (do NOT use this for the EXABYTE 8500). For these devices, the 
     must initially be formatted (partitioned) for the Novastor backup.
     You only need to format the tape once.

Erase the Tape -
     Mainly used for security purposes, this ensures that data previously 
     written to tape cannot be recovered.

Change tape device address -
     This option allows you perform the options within the Check / Format
     utility on any given tape address you wish. Changing this address will
     NOT affect which tape unit is used for backup. That is determined from
     the Main Menu by pressing the F3 options key.
     

@U01S06
                       View / Set Backup Schedule

This routine will display a screen which is used to set up an automatic 
backup. You specify the time you wish the backup to start, and the backup 
procedure you wish to be started. In order for this to work, you must
be sure the NSD.SYS device has been loaded via your CONFIG.SYS file. For
example, if your Novaback files are installed in the C:\NOVASTOR directory,
then to use the scheduler, this line must be included in your CONFIG.SYS file:
                   
                  DEVICE=C:\NOVASTOR\NSD.SYS

Once the scheduler screen appears, these actions may be selected:

F2 - Select Procedure
     Use this to select which procedure you wish to run at the time you
     designate in the current line. Of course, you must have previously
     created a backup procedure in order to choose one at this point. To
     see how that's done, see "Select Files for Backup" from the Main Menu.

Alt - D Delete
      To delete a line at the cursor postion in the scheduling menu.

Alt - I Insert
      To insert a line at the cursor postion in the scheduling menu.

F10 - Done
      This exits the scheduling menu, saving your configuration so that
      the scheduled backups will occur as you have specified.

ESC - Exit
      To exit the scheduling menu without saving your changes.

Note that if you power down your computer, the items entered in the scheduling
menu will have been lost. However you CAN save your configuration to a text 
file to easily reinstate the scheduled backup. That is, you don't HAVE to redo
the scheduling menu necessarily. To use this technique, take these steps:

1. The NSD.SYS device creates a "character device called "NOVASCHD" which can
   be thought of as an ordinary text file. So, you can preserve your setups
   created in the scheduling menu by copying the NOVASCHD device to a file.
   You could, for example, go to the DOS command line execute the command,
    
                     COPY NOVASCHD C:\SAVESCHD.TXT

2. After powering down then restarting your computer, you can reinstate the 
   scheduler by using the DOS command, COPY C:\SAVESCHD.TXT NOVASCHD.

@U01S99
                       Summarize A Backup Tape
 
 
This routine will read through an entire backup tape and list the contents.
The list may be directed to a DOS text file or directly to a printer.  In
either case, the list generated is suitable for printing.  That is, it has
page breaks and headings.
 
You will also be asked to specify how detailed a list you wish to get.
 
This routine lists all the backup sets contained on one physical tape
cartridge.
 
 
                 List One Backup Set from a Tape
 
This routine will read one backup set from a tape and list the contents.
The list may be directed to a DOS text file or directly to a printer.  In
either case, the list generated is suitable for printing.  That is, it has
page breaks and headings.
 
You will also be asked to specify how detailed a list you wish to get.
 
This routine lists one backup set from a tape cartridge.
 
 
                     Verify a Backup Set
 
This routine allows a backup set from a tape to be compared back to the
original disk data.  This is the same verify routine that is run if you
specify the verify option when doing a backup.
 
You are asked which backup set on the tape you wish to verify.

                        
                        Test Tape Read\Write

The options that you choose here will allow to verify that the tape drive
is working by taking these steps:
     
     1) Connect your drive to your computer using the supplied SCSI cable,
        then switch on power to the tape drive.
     2) Load a tape into the tape drive.  YOU WILL OVERWRITE any 
        previously recorded data (you may wish to use a fresh tape).
     3) When the menu appears, choose option 'SENSE SCSI BUS.'  Your 
        tape drive's name should appear in the list of SCSI tape devices
        detected.  With the drive's name highlighted, press ENTER to access
        your drive.
     4) Now select the option, 'RUN TEST.'  This will write some data to the 
        tape; then verify by reading the data.
     5) Once this data has been read and verified, you are ready to use the 
        software.

                     
                     View / Delete Backup logs

This routine lets you examine text files which report the results of a 
backup, verify or restore session. Backup and Verify logs are created IF
you turned on that option from the Main Menu (using F3) or from the
Select Files for Backup Menu (using F2).


                     Check / Format tapes

Choose this option to find out if any data is on a tape, do a 4mm (DAT)
tape format, or to erase a tape. You may change the SCSI device address 
for this menu to check out other devices if you're using more than one.


                     View / Set Backup Schedule

This routine allows you to specify a time of day to automatically start
backups. You must have the NSD.SYS device loaded via Config.sys to use
the scheduling feature.

@U02S01
                    Summarize a Backup Tape
 
This routine reads and summarizes the data directly from the tape.  It does
not use the index (.AIX/.BIX) files which may have been written when it was
created.  Hence this routine may be run even though the index files may have
been lost/erased/corrupted, etc.
 
@U02S02
             Select the Level of Detail for a Listing
 
This screen allows you to select the level of detail you wish to have shown.
 
List Backup Sets only - This will only show the date, time, number of
        files and number of bytes for each backup set on the tape.
 
List DOS Volumes -      This will also show the total number of files
        and bytes for each DOS volume in each backup set listed.
 
List DOS Subdirectories - This will show all the above information plus
        the total files and bytes in each subdirectory.
 
List All DOS File Names - This will show all the above information plus
        it will list all the file names in each directory showing the
        number of bytes in each.
 
@U02S03
               Specify Where the Listing is to be Output
 
Specify a DOS file name or PRN for sending it directly to the printer.  Also
just pressing RETURN will by default send it to the printer.  If a DOS file
name is entered, a text file by that name will be created.  The output is
generated in a format suitable for being printed, that is, it contains page
breaks and page headers, or it may be viewed by TYPEing the resulting text
file.
 
@U03S01
                      List One Backup Set
 
This routine reads and sumarizes/lists the backup information directly from
one backup set on a tape.  Since it lists directly from the tape, the
cartridge to be listed from must be insert at this point before proceeding.
If there is more than one backup set on the tape you must know which backup
set you wish to list.  If you are not sure what backup sets are on the tape,
then you may need to run the 'Summarize Backup Tape' routine first, or
instead of this routine.
 
@U04S01
                     Verify A Backup Set
 
This will compare the files on one tape backup set back to the original data.
You must enter the backup set on the tape which you wish to verify.  If you
do not know what backup sets are on the tape, then you may need to run the
'Summarize Backup Tape' routine.  This verify routine is the same routine that
is run when you specify the verify option when doing a backup.
 
                     Sequential Stacker

If set to 'yes' then an unload command is issued if the end of the tape is 
reached, causing the next tape in sequence to be loaded in order to continue 
the backup.
If set to 'eject' the above is still true.  The difference is that the stacker 
ejects the tape at the completion of a backup.  If a verify is done too, then 
tape rewinds after backup, the verify is done, then the tape ejects.

                     Random Stacker Sequence

If a random stacker is installed on the tape unit, enter a list from 1 to 10 
in the order of tapes you wish to use.  You should set Sequential Stacker to 
'no' if the random stacker is used, and vise versa.  The numbers entered here 
should be separated by commas.

                     Multiple Unit Sequence

If more than one tape unit is used for a single backup, enter the tape unit 
address (0 to 30) in the order they are to be used.  These tape units must all 
be the same type, that is, streamer, Exabyte, 9-track, 3480, etc.  This option 
should not be used if either sequential or random stacker is used.

@U05S01
                  Is this the correct backup?
 
The date and time the backup was done is displayed for the backup set which
was specified.  You have one last chance to say if this is the backup set
that you wish to have verified or not.
 
@C01S99
                     Check / Format Tapes

Check for Backup data -
     This does a 'quick check' to see if any data has been written to the 
     tape at all. If so, the date and time the first backup set was written
     to the tape will be shown on the screen.

Format the Tape (4mm only) -
     This applies only to 4mm DAT tape units or QFA (Quick File Acces) tape
     units (do NOT use this for the EXABYTE 8500). For these devices, the

     Mainly used for security purposes, this ensures that data previously 
     written to tape cannot be recovered.

Change tape device address -
     This option allows you perform the options within the Check / Format
     utility on any given tape address you wish. Changing this address will
     NOT affect which tape unit is used for backup. That is determined from
     the Main Menu by pressing the F3 options key.
