[Dx4win] Backup Of Logbook to Floppy

Fri, 12 Dec 2003 08:26:35 -0600

Tom-

Do you move the data on the jump drive to another computer or do you use the
jump drive as a dedicated backup storage device?

thanks, Andy K5VM

| Dick,
|
| I used to use a ZIP but have since changed over to a USB Jumpdrive.  I
have
| a small batch file that zips the entire /save directory and copies it onto
| the jumpdrive.  I have a copy of pkzip in the save directory and an icon
on
| the desktop that calls this batch file:
|
| cd c:\Progra~1\dx4w603\save
| pkzip -u -x*.~?? F:\dx4win\dx4w603.zip *.*
|
| Works like a charm...
|
| 73 de Tom, K4NR
