I just uploaded MRbackup 3.3E from Tape::. I dont seem to be able to get it to work, even though I believe that I have done the right things. Whenever I try to invoke the program, I get a "failed to open main window" or something like that. I do see a new window open momentarily. I am running an interlaced display and the new window appears to be non-interlaced. Any suggestions? Glenn

Sorry Mike, Morerows is in my startupII but is commented out. However, I'll start taking things out....Dmouse, Conman etc and see what happens. Cheers, | |||||

Maybe this was an Isolated incident, but it's worth reporting. MRBackup 3.3(E) Dutifully backed up everything to floppy. Slow but it seemed to do the job. Came the time when I Lunched my hard disk and I wanted to restore. Apart from the stupid things I did, like asking MRB to backup my IFF files, I found that it couldn't even get text files right....My "S" directory got garbaged, as did most of the sub-directories in my "Data" directory. In fact, some went missing permanently. There were only two "priceless" directories on the whole disk and...you guessed 'em. Maybe I did something else wrong, but I'm not going to give it another chance. I now use quarterback, and apart from it's reliability, it is heaps faster. |
