The Short-cuts Menu

EzTape's Short-cuts menu offers a convenient way to perform simple //backup// 10201
and //restore// 10202 operations.

Use this menu option:     	To:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Backup all files on disk  	Make a complete backup of each drive you 
				select.  

Restore current tape      	Restore everything from the tape currently in
				your tape drive.

Backup modified files on disk   Back up only those files that have been added
				or changed since the last backup for the 
				drive(s) you select.

To Backup All Files or Backup Modified Files:

1.  Select Short-cuts from the File menu, then select Backup all files on
    disk or Backup modified files on disk.  

2.  Highlight the drive(s) you wish to backup and select OK.  
    
The backup will begin.  If you run out of room on the tape during the backup 
operation, insert additional tape(s) when prompted.

Each drive receives its own //backup set// 10203.  If you selected Backup all files, 
the backup sets	will be called IMAGE, followed by the appropriate drive 
letter.  If you chose Backup modified files, the backup sets will be called 
MODIFIED, followed by the drive letter.  

To Restore All Files on the Current Tape:

*   Select Short-cuts from the File menu, then select Restore current tape.

The restore will begin.  If you are restoring a //split tape,// 10209 insert additional
tape(s) when prompted.

EzTape restores all backup sets on the tape to their //source drives.// 10208  All 
files except for hidden and system are restored.

See //Setting Window Defaults// 10358 to learn how to display the Short-cuts menu
automatically upon starting EzTape.

//EzTape's Batch Files// 10308

>>10308
EzTape's Batch Files

EzTape comes with three batch files that you can use to backup up your whole
system or restore an entire tape without ever entering the menu.

To use a batch file, simply type in its name (without the .BAT extension) at 
the system prompt.  If the EzTape directory is not in your path, you must 
change to it before entering the batch file name.

Use this batch file:    To:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
BACKALL.BAT		back up everything on the drive(s) you specify

CHANGED.BAT		back up only those files that have changed or been
                        added since your last backup

RESTALL.BAT             restore everything on the current tape

Backing up All Files and Backing up Modified Files:

If you wish to specify which drives to back up, type the drive letters after
the batch files command.  For example,

    BACKALL C D E F

Otherwise, EzTape will back up the currently-logged drive only.

EzTape will create a //backup set// 10203 for each drive you back up.  Backup up sets
created by BACKALL will be called IMAGE-[drive], where [drive] is the letter 
of the drive backed up.  Backup sets created by CHANGED will be called 
CHANGED-[drive].  If you don't specify a drive, no drive letter will be used.

Restoring Files:

The RESTALL command restores everything on a tape except hidden and system 
files.  The files are restored to their //source drives.// 10208  If the tape contains
more than one backup set, they will be restored in the order in which they 
were created.

If you are restoring a //split tape,// 10209 insert additional tape(s) when prompted.

Marking Selections

You indicate which files to include in an operation by marking them.  To mark 
files for inclusion in a backup or restore:

1.  Select the items you wish to mark by highlighting them with your mouse
    or with keyboard commands. You may highlight entire drives, backup sets,
    directories or individual files.  

2.  Click the Mark button in the ribbon.
    Or select Mark selected files from the Mark menu.

A black circle will appear next to the items you marked.  (In text mode, this
mark appears as a black rectangle.)  If you marked a drive, backup set or 
directory, its contents are also marked.  

EzTape these symbols to show mark status:

Symbol:            What It Means:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
full circle/       Indicates that an item and its contents are marked.
rectangle

half circle/dot    Indicates that a drive, directory or backup set contains 
                   items that are marked.  

X'd circle/X       Indicates that EzTape has //excluded// 10218 these hidden and 
                   and system files from all backups and restores.  

Note:  If you mark a directory that does not contain any files, a black 
circle (or rectangle) still appears to indicate it was marked, and a half 
circle (or dot) appears next to any parent directories.  This is useful when
you are using //parameter files.// 10204  The mark indicates that the parameter 
file will include any files you later add to this directory.

>>10315
Unmarking Selections

You can use the unmark option to remove //marks// 10217 from an item or exclude 
it from an operation.  To unmark files:

1.  Select the items you wish to unmark by highlighting them with your mouse
    or with keyboard commands.
    
    You may highlight entire drives, backup sets, directories or individual
    files.  

2.  Click the Unmark button from the ribbon.
    Or select Unmark selected files from the Mark menu.

If the item was previously marked, its black circle (or rectangle) will 
disappear.  If you unmarked a drive, backup set or directory, its contents
also become unmarked.

If you unmark all the files and subdirectories within a directory, a half 
circle (or dot) still appears by the directory to indicate that a rule 
("exclude these items from the operation") has been applied.  To remove this
mark, you must unmark the parent directory.

Removing All Marks

To unmark all of your currently //marked// 10217 files:

*   Select Clear all marks from the Mark menu.  

You will be asked to confirm the operation.  Answer Yes to clear the marks, 
No to cancel.  

>>10317
Applying a Rule

Another way of marking or unmarking files is to apply a rule to your 
selections.  You can select a group of files then narrow it down by setting 
criteria, such as:

    "Include only those files with an .EXE extension," or
    "Exclude files that were created before January 1, 1985."  

To apply a rule:

1.  Select the items you wish to mark by highlighting them with your 
    mouse or with keyboard commands.

    You may highlight entire drives, backup sets, directories or individual
    files.  

2.  Select Apply rule from the Mark menu.

3.  When the Apply Rule dialog box appears, fill in the boxes for options you
    want, then select Accept.

Files and directories that meet the specifications you've selected will 
appear //marked// 10217 with a full circle.  (In text mode, this symbol appears as a
black rectangle.)  

All of the other directories you selected will receive a half circle (in text
mode, a dot) even if they contain no marked files or are empty, to indicate 
that the rule was applied to them as well.  

To view the rule you've set up:

*   Select Show Mark Rules from the Windows menu.  

The //Mark Rules window// 10214 will appear.

Displaying Rules in the Mark Rules Window

The Mark Rules window displays a list of //rules// 10205 currently in effect.  To open 
the Mark Rules Window:

*   Select Show mark rules from the Windows menu.

When the Mark Rules window is open, a check mark appears next to this option.
To close the window, select Show mark rules again.  The check mark will 
disappear.  

Each rule in the Mark Rules window consists of a path specification which 
represents files you have marked.  A rule may be preceded by any of these 
symbols:

Symbol:    What It Means:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 &         In place of the drive designator, this symbol means that the rule
           applies to all drive or backup sets.

 -         This rule unmarks files.

 |         This rule has attribute or time/date restrictions.  To view them,
           select Edit.

Creating a Parameter File

You can create //parameter files// 10204 for tasks that you perform on a regular basis.
Once you've created it, you can execute a parameter file:

   from within the EzTape menu system, for backup and restore only
   from the command line
   as an EzStart event

To create a parameter file from within the EzTape menu system (backup and 
restore operations only):

1.  Mark the files or backup sets you want to back up or restore.

2.  Select Save parameter file from the File menu.  

3.  Fill in the boxes for the options you want in the Backup set parameters 
    or Restore parameters dialog box, then select OK.

4.  When the Save parameter file dialog box appears, enter a name and path
    specification for your parameter file, then select OK.

    Note:  If you do not specify an extension, EzTape will add .TPF to the 
    filename.  We recommend that you use this extension for all your 
    parameter files.
    
To create a parameter file using a text editor:

1.  Use a text editor to open a new file.

2.  Type in the commands for the parameter file to perform, using EzTape's 
    parameter file format.  

3.  Save the parameter file under a unique filename.  

    We recommend that you add a .TPF extension to identify the file as a 
    parameter file.

Loading a Parameter File

When you load a //parameter file// 10204, your files become //marked// 10217 as specified in the
parameter file.  To load a parameter file:

1.  Select Load a parameter file from the File menu.
    
    If you currently have any files marked, you will be asked if you wish to 
    discard them.  Answer Yes to discard the marks.  Answer No to add the 
    parameter file's marks to those you've already made.  

3.  When the Load parameter file dialog box appears, select the directory of 
    the parameter file you wish to load, then select the parameter file from 
    the list displayed.  

    If the parameter file to be loaded marks files of a different media type
    from that currently selected, you will be asked again if you wish to 
    clear your current marks.  In this case, you must clear the marks or the 
    parameter file won't be loaded.

Running a Parameter File from the Command Line

To execute a parameter file, go your EzTape directory and type:

    EZTAPE [parameter file]  [Enter]

EzTape assumes parameter files end with .TPF.  If your parameter file uses
a different extension, make sure to include it in the command.

EzTape's Parameter File Format

EzTape's parameter file format allows you to create and edit 
//parameter files// 10204 with a text editor.  This option is provided for the 
advanced user as an alternative to choosing options from the menus.  
If you wish to create parameter files to perform short-cuts, initialize, 
or utilities commands, you must use the parameter file format.

The basic format of a parameter file is:

    [mode] [optionlist]

You use the mode variable to specify the type of command you want the 
parameter file to perform.  Each mode has a different set of options.  You 
can view each mode's syntax and options by selecting it from the list below:  

Mode:         Meaning:
-------------------------------------------------------
//!backup// 10363       perform a backup

//!restore// 10364      perform a restore from tape

//!library// 10364      perform a restore from library

//!init// 10365         perform a tape initialization

//!util// 10366         perform a tape utility

//!shortcut// 10367     perform a short-cut operation

When you use the mode variable, you need only type the exclamation point and 
the first letter of the command.  For example, the mode variable for backup 
is !b.  

Note:  In most cases, if you do not include an option in the parameter file, 
that option is turned off.  Exceptions to this rule are note in the option 
lists.  In addition, some of the options take variables.  Make sure to insert 
a space between the option and its variable.

Backup Mode Option List

Use the following syntax for !backup mode commands:

    !b[ackup] [mode_options] [select_options] /s file_spec

Mode Options

You may have only one set of mode options in the parameter file.  These 
options will apply to the entire parameter file, even if it includes multiple 
volumes.

mode_option:     Use this option to:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 /l              create a log for messages during this operation.  Put a 
                 legal file name for the log_name variable.  
    
                 If you want to include a list of files excluded from the 
                 operation due to errors, use the x variable.  If you want 
                 to include a list the files that were included in the 
                 operation, use the i variable.

 /m              scan marked files before performing the backup.

 /u              set the tape to unused before backup.  

 /w [0fcnso]     set the wait on error option.  When you use this option, the 
                 operation will pause at a situation that you specify and 
                 wait for you to select a continue, retry, or cancel option. 
    
                 You can choose to wait at one or more of the following:
		 0 (zero)   no wait
                 f          file sharing error
                 c          critical error
                 n          non-critical error
                 s          split/full tape
                 o          completion of operation

                 If you do not include the /w option, the parameter file will 
                 default to the wait option currently set in the Backup Set 
                 Parameters window.

 /x "bs_name"    overwrite a backup set, where the variable bs_name 
                 represents the backup set name.  If the backup set name 
                 contains a space, you must place quotation marks around it.  
                 (Not available for use with streaming tape drives such as 
                 minicartridge SCSI, DC600, or 4mm DAT.)

Selection Options

You may specify a set of selection options for each drive in the backup set.  
List the selection options for the drive, followed by its file specification.  

select_option:   Use this option to:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 /a              back up modified files only.

 /b [type]       include files according to their file attributes:  
                 r          include read-only files
                 h          include hidden files
                 s          include system file
               
                 To use this option, you must enter two /b options.  The 
                 first /b resets the file attribute inclusion bits.  Use the 
                 second	/b to turn on the inclusion bits of the attributes 
                 you wish to select.  For example, the option /b /b rh tells 
                 EzTape to reset the inclusion bits, then include files with 
                 read-only and hidden attributes.  

 /c [level]      set the compression level as follows:
		 0          no data compression
                 1          data compression of approximately 1.2:1
                 2          data compression of approximately 2:1 

                 If you do not include the /c option, the parameter file will 
                 default to the data compression level currently set in the 
                 Backup Set parameters window.

 /d date_spec date [time]  
                 choose a date specification.  The date_spec variable can 
                 have one of the following values:
		 ge or >=   greater than or equal to
                 gt or >    greater than
                 eq or =    equal
                 lt or <    less than
                 le or <=   less than or equal to
                 ne or <>   not equal

                 The date variable must be in this format: mm/dd/yy.
                 For example, 02/15/91.
                
                 The time variable is optional.  It must be in the following 
                 format: hh:mm.  For example, 13:30 means 1:30 PM.

 /g              add this backup set to the library.

 /i "backup_comments"      
                 include backup remarks.  The remarks can be a maximum of 127 
                 characters.  If the remarks contain a space, you must place 
                 quotation marks around them.

 /n "bs_name"    assign a name to the backup set.  This name can be a maximum 
                 of 31 characters.  Do not use characters that are illegal 
                 for file names (for example, do not use : \ * ?).  If the 
                 backup set name contains a space, you must place quotation 
                 marks around it.

                 If you do not use this option to set a name, EzTape names 
                 the backup set according to its source drive.  For example, 
                 DRIVE C.  

 /q              include the subdirectories for a selected directory.  

 /r              reset the archive bits by turning off the archive bit of 
                 each file you back up.  This lets the operating system and 
                 EzTape know that the file has been backed up.  If you later 
                 change a file, its archive bit will automatically be turned 
                 back on.  

 /v              verify after backup.  This option causes EzTape to perform a 
                 byte-by-byte comparison between the tape data and hard disk 
                 data.  (Not available for use with streaming tape drives 
                 such as minicartridge SCSI, DC600, or 4mm DAT.)

File Specification

The /s command tells EzTape what files to include in the backup.  You must 
include a file specification in the backup parameter file, or else the 
operation will not take place.  

Substitute the path of the file(s) you want to mark or unmark for the 
file_spec variable.  If you precede a file_spec with a minus (-) sign, it 
will unmark the files in the path.  

You can use as many /s options as necessary to select your files.  If you 
have multiple volumes, make sure to list the selection options before each /s 
option.  The order in which you place /s commands is important.  Before you 
can exclude files, you must specify some to include.  
               
>>10364
Restore and LIB Mode Option List

Use the following syntax for !restore and !library mode commands:

    !r[estore] [mode_options] [select_options] /s file_spec
    !l[ibrary] [mode_options] [select_options] /s file_spec

Mode Options

You may have only one set of mode options in the parameter file.  These 
options will apply to the entire parameter file, even if it includes multiple 
volumes.

mode_option:     Use this option to:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 /l              create a log for messages during this operation.  Put a 
                 legal file name for the log_name variable.  

                 If you want to include a list of files excluded from the 
                 operation due to errors, use the x variable.  If you want to 
                 include a list the files that were included in the operation, 
                 use the i variable.

 /m              scan marked files before performing the restore.

 /w [0fcnso]     set the wait on error option.  When you use this option, the 
                 operation will pause at a situation that you specify and 
                 wait for you to select a continue, retry, or cancel option. 

                 You can choose to wait at one or more of the following:
                 0 (zero)   no wait
                 f          file sharing error
                 c          critical error
                 n          non-critical error
                 s          split/full tape
                 o          completion of operation

                 If you do not include the /w option, the parameter file will 
                 default to the wait option currently set in the Restore 
                 Parameters window.

Selection Options

You may specify a set of selection options for each drive in the backup set.  
List the selection options for the drive, followed by its file specification.  

select_option:   Use this option to:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 /b [type]       include files according to their file attributes:  
		 r          include read-only files
                 h          include hidden files
                 s          include system file
               
                 To use this option, you must enter two /b options.  The 
                 first /b resets the file attribute inclusion bits.  Use the 
                 second /b to turn on the inclusion bits of the attributes 
                 you wish to select.  For example, the option /b /b rh tells 
                 EzTape to reset the inclusion bits, then include files with 
                 read-only and hidden attributes.  

 /d date_spec date [time]
                 choose a date specification.  The date_spec variable can 
                 have one of the following values:
		 ge or >=   greater than or equal to
                 gt or >    greater than
                 eq or =    equal
                 lt or <    less than
                 le or <=   less than or equal to
                 ne or <>   not equal
       
                 The date variable must be in this format: mm/dd/yy.
                 For example, 02/15/91.
                 
                 The time variable is optional.  It must be in the following 
                 format: hh:mm.  For example, 13:30 means 1:30 PM.

 /k [0 or 1]     chooses whether or not to keep the directory tree.  If you 
                 put /k 0, the directory tree will not be kept.  If you 
                 choose /k 1, EzTape will restore the directory tree.

                 If you do not include the /k option, the parameter file will 
                 default to the keep tree option currently set in the Restore
                 Parameters window.

 /o [0, 1, or 2]  
                 set the file overwrite level.  If you use:
		 0       newer files will not be overwritten
                 1       you will be prompted if a newer file exists
                 2       all files will be restored

                 If you do not include the /o option, the parameter file will 
                 default to the overwrite option currently set in the Restore
                 Parameters window.

 /p [0, 1, or 2]  
                 set how trustee level is restored for a Novell network:
		 0       do not restore any trustee rights
                 1       restore target directory rights only
                 2       restore rights to all directories in the target path

                 If you do not include the /p option, the parameter file will 
                 default to the trustee option currently set in the Restore
                 Parameters window.

 /q              include the subdirectories for a selected directory.

 /t target_dir   choose the directory path where you want to restore the 
                 files to.

File Specification

The /s command tells EzTape what files to include in the restore.  You must 
include a file specification in the parameter file, or else the operation 
will not take place.  

Substitute the backup set and path of the file(s) you want to mark or unmark 
for the file_spec variable.  If you are using !library mode, include the tape 
volume number.  If you precede a file_spec with a minus (-) sign, it will 
unmark the files in the path.  

You can use as many /s options as necessary to select your files.  If you 
have multiple backup sets, make sure to list the selection options before 
each /s option.  The order in which you place /s commands is important.  
Before you can exclude files, you must specify some to include.

                 o          completion of operation

                 If you do not include the /w option, the parameter file will 
                 default to the wait option currently set in the Backup Set 
                 or Restore Parameters window, depending on the shortcuts 
                 command you select.

Shortcut Commands

You must include one of these commands, or the parameter file will not 
execute.  You may use one command only.

Loading EzStart

EzStart is a special program that allows you to schedule //parameter files// 10204 
to run automatically while you are away from the computer.  

In order for EzStart to operate, your computer must be turned on, with 
EzStart loaded.  You must be at the DOS prompt for the event to launch.

If your system is busy when an event is scheduled to begin, EzStart will 
beep to let you know, then postpone the event.  

If you elected to add EzStart during the EzTape installation, EzStart loads
automatically every time you start your system.  

If you did not add EzStart, you can run it by typing:

    [EzTape Directory] EZTIMER -r 

at the DOS prompt.  However, it easier to add this line to your AUTOEXEC.BAT
so that EzTimer runs in the background.

Displaying Library Backup Sets

Use EzTape's tape library to keep a record of the //backup sets// 10203 
you have recorded on tape.  To display the contents of the library:

1.  Select the Library button in the ribbon.  
    Or select Library from the Tree menu.  

    EzTape displays all backup sets entered in the library in the 
    //Directory Tree window.// 10212  The serial number at the left indicates the tape
    on which the backup set is recorded.  EzTape assigns this number when it 
    first updates the tape into the library.  

    Tip:  You should label your tapes with the serial number assigned.  That 
    way, you will be able to locate the tapes when you need them.  

2.  Open the backup sets and view their contents just as you would any folder 
    in the Directory Tree window.  

The Library also contains information about the backup set, such as its 
creation date, remarks, original and compressed size, compression ratio and 
whether it is stored on a //split tape.// 10209  

To get additional information about a backup set:  

1.  Select Backup sets from the Library menu.

2.  Highlight the backup set you want information about.

3.  Select the Info button.  

4.  The Backup set Information window will appear.  When you have finished

Updating a Tape into the Library

EzTape provides two ways of adding a tape's //backup set// 10203 information to the 
//library.// 10206  You can add the information at the time you make the backup,
or you can update the tape at a later date.

To add a backup set to the Library during backup:

1.  Mark the files you wish to back up and start the //backup.// 10201  

2.  Select the Add to library option in the Backup set parameters window.  

To add the backup sets from an entire tape to the Library:

*   Select Update Library from the Librarian menu.  
        
    Make sure you have a tape inserted in the tape drive. 

EzTape compares the information on the tape with that in the library.  If 
there are any differences, it records the new tape information in the 
library.

Preparing a Tape for Use

If you haven't used a tape for a long period of time, or if the tape has 
been exposed to temperature extremes, you may wish to retension the tape 
before using it.  Digital Audio Tapes (DAT) cannot be retensioned.  

To retension a tape:

*   Select Retension tape from the Utilities menu.  

The tape will spool from end to end, then rewind.  It takes about one minute.
If there is no tape in the tape drive or your tape drive does not support 
this option, it will be grayed out. 

Initializing Tapes

If you have an AccuTrak tape drive and are not using preformatted tapes, you 
will need to initialize each of your tapes before its first use.  

Note:  We strongly recommend that you use preformatted tapes with your tape 
drive.  Preformatted tapes are ready to use right out of the box.  They never 
require initialization.  You can obtain these tapes from your dealer.  

Initializing an unformatted tape can take over an hour.  Make sure your 
computer will be free for that length of time before starting the operation.

Once the tape has been initialized there should be no need to ever perform 
the operation again.  If you wish to reuse a tape that you have used 
previously to make backups, you should set the tape to unused status.  

To initialize an unformatted tape:

1.  Select Initialize tape from the Utilities menu.  
    
    The initialization option will be grayed out if your tape is already 
    formatted or your tape drive does not support it. 

2.  You will be asked to confirm the operation.  Select Yes if you wish to 
    continue, No to cancel.  
    
A status window will appear to show you how the operation is proceeding.

Use the choices in the Rule dialog box to set criteria for a //rule,// 10205 or to
edit a rule that has already been made.  

The Mask box is where you specify which files will be included in this 
rule.  If you are Applying a rule, enter a wildcard specification or 
filename in the Mask box.  The default is an asterisk [*], meaning that the 
rule will apply to all currently selected files.

If you selected Add or Edit from the Show mark rules window, enter a full 
path specification in the Mask box.  This rule will apply to all files in 
the path, regardless of their selection status.  "C:\*" means that the rule 
will apply to all files on drive C. 

When Include Subdirectories is checked, the rule will apply to the 
subdirectories of any selected directories.

Check Modified Only to include in the rule only those files that have been 
created or modified since the last backup.

be applied.

in the rule according to their file type.  The default is to include all 
file types.

Select one of the choices in the Date/Time box to include files in the rule 
according to their date and time.  The default is to include All files, 
regardless of date and time.  If you select Before, On or After, the Date 
and Time boxes become active.

Enter a date and/or time in this format:

    01-20-91 (for January 20, 1991)
    15:53 (for 3:53 PM)

The date can be from 01-01-80 to 12-31-37.  The time can be from 00:00
