From: "Walter F. Metcalf"

The previous upload of LDBkup1-02a contained a RAR parameter that I haven't tested. Since I haven't tested this parameter yet, I decided to remove it. A new upload--called LDBkup1-02aa--is now available at Hobbes incoming and on my web site at http://wmetcalf.com. I recommend that all LDBkup users download this repaired version and use instead of the
previous one.

I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

See the next section for an introduction to LDBkup and a partial list of its features.


Enjoy!

Large Disk Backup (LDBkup)

LDBkup is a program designed specially to backup very large disk drives, especially those larger than 2 GB. LDBkup can back up your disk(s) to the following media:

Local hard drive
Remote hard drive
CDR(W) media
DVDRAM media

To accomplish backing up to optical media, they must be "attached" to the system (i.e. assigned a drive letter) by a software package such as RSJ CD Writer. So far, only RSJ has been tested, though CDRecord, etc., should
work just as well.

LDBkup uses the shareware program RAR(c) by Eugene Roshal as the engine for the actual back up. So you need to have RAR installed in the same directory as LDBkup.

Features:
---------

- no limit to the size of drive you want to back up.
- flexible configuration setup
- multiple drives can be backed up in one session.
- runs unattended
- long drives are split up "on the fly", producing normal archive files.
- full LAN support.
- CDR(W), DVDR, and DVDRAM support
- files produced on optical drives are in standard format, unlike Backup/2000
- support is available!!
