I have posted BACK_ME on my web site, the URL is at the end of this message. This time I did try the URL to verify that it is valid.

Back_ME is a way to make a quick backup of a file that is often changed.

For example if you are making changes to a REXX script and want to make certain that you can go back to a previous version. BACK_ME will allow you to make multiple unique backups of a file. Each time BACK_ME makes a backup of a file, it creates a unique name for the backup. It does this by appending a file number to the filename, so BACK_ME requires a file system that supports long file names.

If the original file name was CONFIG.SYS, using BACK_ME to make three backups will result in the following files.

CONFIG.SYS.000
CONFIG.SYS.001
CONFIG.SYS.002

The timestamp and EAs of the backup file will be that of the source file at the time of the backup.

There is a PM and a command line version of the program

The file back_me.zip may be downloaded using the following link:

Unzip it and execute install.cmd to install BACK_ME.

The install.cmd file does not modify any of the system files, it only creates two program objects on the desktop.
