NOTE: This is BETA software. Please read this note
AND the licence agreement LICENCE.TXT fully before use.


INSTALLATION
____________
Install this application with the SETUP.EXE program.
NetBack *must* be installed in your C:\WINDOWS directory. 
Numerous support libraries and files will be copied to 
your C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory.


DESCRIPTION
__________
NetBack is a very simple file backup system, which uses spare
local and network file system/disk space to backup your important
documents and files.

NetBack has two main components, the NetBack Configuration system, 
which allos you to specify what you want backed up and to where, and
the NetBack Backup Agent, which can be operated as a normal 
application, or can be configured to run as a screensaver.


HOW TO USE
__________
To use NetBack, simply start the NetBack configuration application
(C:\WINDOWS\NETBKCFG.EXE) You then select which drive/directory you 
want to use as a backup repository (using the "Set Backup Path" 
button.) The best system would be a networked server which is backup up to 
tape each night. Thus by backing up your files to its file-system, 
you would also be ensuring that your files were backed up to tape too.

Next, you must specify (in the NetBack Configuration program, using
the "Add Files to Backup" button) which directories, and what file
types (e.g *.DOC, *.TXT, *.WKS etc) you want to back up.

Once both of these have been done, you can "Update" your configuration
file, or immediately run the NetBack Backup Agent to backup your
files as specified here.

NETBACK BACKUP AGENT
____________________
The NetBack Backup Agent (C:\WINDOWS\NETBACK.SCR) is usually launched
from either the Windows Program Manager or Win95 Statusbar icon, or 
from within the NetBack Configuration application (via 
"Immediate Backup".)

Once launched, it will backup the files you have requested to be 
backed up (if they are not already backed up, or if they have 
changed since they were backed up)

It will show you what Directories it is currently scanning, and 
display any file copying operations (if any are needed) in the 
status lines.

EXCLUDED FILE TYPES
___________________
Exclued file types are normally things like EXE and DLL files, 
things which shouldn't need backing up. To remove or change the
list of excluded file types, use the password "netbkcfg".
 

NETBACK BACKUP AGENT AS A SCREENSAVER
_____________________________________
If you wish, you can elect to have the NetBack Backup Agent work
as a screensaver. To do this, use the Windows Control Panel Destop
applet to select NetBack as your chosen screensaver, and then 
configure NetBack for things like password protection. If you wish
you can even select another screensaver to follow on from NetBack, and 
NetBack will start that other screensaver when it has scanned for any 
backup work.


WHEN THERE ARE PROBLEMS
_______________________
If you are having problems, the quickest and simplest method
to help track them down is to switch on the Debug Trace output.
You can do this from the NetBack Configuration application, 
in the Options section. Select where you want your trace log
to go (default C:\NETBACK.LOG) and choose a audit level (2 is 
recommended if you are having problems)

You can view the C:\NETBACK.LOG file with Notepad, or if
it grows too big, with Windows Write or WordPad.
