AUTOMATIC AND EASY CREATION OF SYSTEM AND FILE BACKUPS
Detailed description of Sys-Btn

Sys-Btn is a software aimed at making backups, on a safe place, of the most important files of your computer. It comes with a wizard-style interface which guides you step by step in the backup process.

It was initially aimed at making backup of Windows 95/98 system files, but the files to backup list being customizable, you can actually use it to backup your own files.

The application able to restore your files is compact and works under DOS. It's thus capable of restoring any type of files under DOS, even read-only ones, while being able to fit on a simple floppy disk. It can be also run automatically on the computer's startup using an Autoexec.bat file, which can be created by the software.

The interface of this software is entirely customizable according to your Windows desktop colors or tastes... By default, it comes in gray tones with gradients on the buttons and a background texture, but you are free to use a green window with green buttons, with or without gradients, with or without textures... You have an option to restore the default settings or automatically configure the software colors according to your Windows desktop. You also have access to some other options to define the copy process speed, or the settings which must be saved on software exit...

Sys-Btn supports command-line parameters, so that you can schedule automatic backups, using shortcuts for example, and comes with documentation in HLP and HTML formats, if needed. It also introduces an advanced error and events management system, which can allow it to support crashes, even if it comes from an unknown source. It writes into log files the detail of the operations done to your disks, and what happened if an error occured. Thanks to this system, you can send me the logs if you encounter an error, which will help me to fix the problem.

Warning! The latest version 1.1 corrects some bugs from version 1.0 (some difficulties of the restore application to copy some files, incompatibilities with disks having more than 2 GB of free space), but, as a result, may no longer be compatible with the first version of Windows 95 (I couldn't test this). However, if new problems occurs with this version, a setting is available in the software options to disable the features which could be the sources of the problems.
