How does AISBACKUP overcome locked windows files
Posted: Thu Jan 23, 2003 11:34 am
I am currently evaluating AISBACKUP for my Compaq Armada 11GB hd laptop, backing up to an IBM TravleStar 10GB pcmcia hard drive. I just completed my first full backup with NO errors , Yippie! (Haven't tried a restore more on that in a sec) The Travelstar comes with two backup programs. The first one I tried was called KharmaPi. When I tried to do a full backup with it, it skipped dozens of windows files claiming that they were locked. Just curious how does AISBACKUP overcome this proplem?
The 2nd backsw app on the Travlestar is called NovaStor SE, (I haven't tried it yet. Would you have any idea how it compares to AISbackup?
Now on to the restore, The instructions refer to using the batch program on a bootable cd to get things started by recovering 8.3 file names, then usins a script to recover everything else. What script is being referred to. In my case I backed up everything, including windows, and my next step would be to copy the backup from the travelstar to CD's then restore from the cd's preferably in one step. Please advise,
Final question (yes I do want to be a millionaire ) Seriously, ideally I would like to restore directly from the PCMCIA attached Travelstar to a spare laptop HD. Any idea if a DOS driver exist for a standard ESI secondary IDE PC card interface?
Thanks in advance!
Cheers,
Dan
