Thank you for your interest in Backer 5.04!
--------------------------------------------

You will find Backer extremely helpful with all 
tasks related to files and directories on your 
computer(s). Any computer that can run Windows 98, 
Me, NT4, 2000 or XP can run Backer.

As with any new software, you should test it with 
UNIMPORTANT data to verify correct operation.

All users should read the introduction in the help 
file.
If you have already worked with previous versions 
of Backer switching to 5.04 will cause no problems.
If you are a new user please work through the 
examples in the help file and use only the "Express 
Setup" in the first time.

Installation
------------
For installation run SETUP.EXE.

Update from 5.0x
----------------
You can install version 5.04 over an older version 
or into an new directory. Your existing settings in 
the file BACKER50.INI will be reused.

Update from 4.x
---------------
The update from 4.x to 5.0 is free for licensed 
users. The license data are the same. When 
starting, Backer 5.0 attempts to copy your existing 
data. If that fails please do the following:
1. The license data for version 4.1 are expected in 
the file BACKER50.INI.
2. The license data for version 4.x are in the file 
BACKER40.INI or BACKER41.INI, respectively, in the 
directory of Backer 4.x. Copy this file to the 
directory of Backer 5.0.
3. Rename the new copy of BACKER40.INI or 
BACKER41.INI to BACKER50.INI.
4. Open BACKER50.INI with Notepad and replace all 
occurrences of "Workfile" with "Profile".
5. Start Backer 5.0.
