FASTBACK for the Macintosh — Release 1.02 Update Notes This package contains release 1.02 of Fastback for the Macintosh. Below is a list of the major changes and enhancements incorporated into this release: •Improved Error Handling During a backup, if FASTBACK encounters a bad disk, it will eject that disk and prompt you for a new one. When the new disk is inserted, the backup will continue. During a restore, if FASTBACK can’t restore a file (even after using Error Correction Codes), it will allow you to either TRY AGAIN or SKIP the bad file and continue. •File and Folder Attributes Restored FASTBACK now restores a folder’s location, size, and view information as well as each file’s location within a folder during a full restore. •Document Launch Improved FASTBACK now restores information to allow documents to find their applications after a restore. •DeskTop File Not Copied During a backup or restore, FASTBACK has been modified to ALWAYS skip the DeskTop file automatically — rather than requiring users to exclude the file, as suggested in the documentation. •MultiFinder MultiFinder has not been available long enough to allow sufficient testing for us to recommend its use with FASTBACK. Although in most cases FASTBACK will work with MultiFinder, as a general rule backup programs should not be run with other programs or desk accessories. The other programs may access the data being copied or have a dramatic affect on FASTBACK’s timing and performance. In addition, MultiFinder does not allow FASTBACK to utilize the new feature which restores the document launch information, and so should not be used when applications are being restored. For these reasons, the Finder is recommended for use with FASTBACK backups and restores. -1- •Compatibility with FASTBACK Release 1.01 FASTBACK is completely compatible with backup sets produced with Release 1.01, so you can begin to use it immediately with your current disks.
