    Welcome
    -------
    Thank you for evaluating Back Again/2 Professional Edition.

    Back Again/2 is a 32-bit backup utility for OS/2  that fully
    supports HPFS, long filenames, and extended attributes as well as
    processing files which are currently in use.

    In addition to most SCSI, SCSI-2, and ATAPI/IDE tape drives, OS/2
    logical devices are supported including but not limited to Novell
    Netware, LAN Server, and NFS network drives, floppy diskette drives,
    Bernoulli boxes, magneto optical devices, and more.

    This special evaluation edition is limited to backing up 10MB.
    After backing up 10MB, the software will display a warning message
    and will abort the backup.  This software is identical to the full
    version in every other aspect, including the standalone restore
    utility.

    Features new in Back Again/2 v4.00
    ----------------------------------
        - All new standalone restore utility!
          The standalone restore utility has been completely
          rewritten to provide many new features and enhancements
          over the original standalone restore utility.  Some of the
          new features are :

            - All new interactive interface with mouse support.
              Allows you to define the restore parameters using a
              GUI-style text mode interface with a similar "look and
              feel" to the GUI version.

            - The ability to make use of backup set catalogs to
              facilitate quick file access (QFA).  If a catalog is
              accessible, you can now optionally load it and the
              restore utility can then use the QFA info to quickly
              locate and restore the desired files.

            - Easier to use command line interface, similar to
              CLBACK.

        - Redesigned backup/restore interface!
          The interface for selecting files to be backed up or
          restored has been completely redesigned to be network
          aware and eliminate the "drive scanning".  An estimate
          feature has been added to show the total number of
          files/bytes to be backed up, and BA/2 can now detect all
          Novell, IBM LAN Server, IBM Warp Server, and IBM Warp
          Connect machines you are currently logged on to and
          display them in the file selection window automatically.
          This should also work for other systems as well, such as
          Windows for Workgroups and Windows NT.

        - Complete Workplace Shell integration!
          It is now possible to create a backup set, perform a
          backup, and perform a restore without explicitly running
          BA/2 thanks to the new Workplace Shell interface classes.
          Backup sets can be created by "tearing" off a new one from
          the backup set template, etc.  A Workplace Shell
          scheduler, although not yet available in this beta
          release, will allow unattended backups to be scheduled
          from with the Workplace Shell environment as well.

        - Quick Backup interface!
          A new, simplified interface for selecting drives to be
          backed up has been added.  This interface makes selecting
          drives for backup as well as selecting the desired backup
          type and compression type extremely simple.  It is enabled
          by default, but can be disabled via the configuration
          notebook.

        - Enhanced device support!
          Support for the new APS HyperQIC and Conner 8000 ATAPI/IDE
          and SCSI tape drives has been added.  These tape drives
          cost under $450, yet will store 4GB on a TR-4 cartridge
          without compression at speeds of up to 34MB/min.

        - User Exits!
          A new feature which allows you to specify a command or
          program to be run before and after a backup has been
          added.  This can be used to automatically shutdown a
          server prior to a backup and then restart it once the
          backup has finished, for example.

        - Support for HPFS386 Access Control Lists!
          Back Again/2 v4.0 can backup access control lists for
          machines using the HPFS386 filesystem.  This is done
          *without* shelling out and executing the BACKACC/RESTACC
          commands as some other products do to increase speed and
          reliability.  Access control lists can also be backed up
          across the lan, making it possible to back up all your
          servers with BA/2 v4.0.

        - Scheduler folder!
          Now included with Back Again/2 is a powerful Workplace
          Shell scheduler utility.  Any WPS object or program can be
          started unattended, and Back Again/2 does not need to be
          running for this to take place!

        - Uninstall utility for removing part or all of Back Again/2!



    Installing Back Again/2
    -----------------------
    If you received this software in compressed (.ZIP, .ARJ, etc.) form,
    simply run the INSTALL.EXE program from the directory where the
    file was uncompressed.

    If you received this software on diskette, simply open the Drive A
    object (there is usually a shadow on your OS/2 desktop) and then
    double-click on the install icon.

    Installation is straight forward.  The default installation path
    is on the system's OS/2 boot drive in a directory called "\BA2PRO".
    You may change this to your liking; we recommend that the software
    be installed on your OS/2 system partition but it does not have to
    be.

    You can also have the installation program create a folder with the
    Back Again/2 user's guide, this read.me file, and the Back Again/2
    program object on the desktop.  Additionally, the installation
    program can create a shadow of the Back Again/2 program on your
    desktop.

    By default, the LIBPATH, PATH, and HELP environment variables set
    in CONFIG.SYS are updated to include the Back Again/2 directory.
    Additionally, the following statements are added for SCSI tape
    support :
        BASEDEV=OS2SCSI.DMD
        DEVICE=<installation path>\BTSSCSI.SYS

    The installation program also creates a full and an incremental
    backup set, called FULL and INCRMENT, respectively.  These backup
    sets will backup all local, non-removable drives.  If SCSI tape
    support was enabled, then these backup sets will default to the
    first SCSI tape drive on your system.  Otherwise, they default
    to diskette drive A:.

    If you have an ATAPI/IDE CD-ROM installed, note that the BTSEIDE.FLT
    statement MUST come before the BASEDEV=IBMIDECD.FLT statement in
    the CONFIG.SYS file due to a bug in IBMIDECD.FLT.  This bug is
    currently being examined by IBM.

    If the IDE controller for the tape drive is not set for one of
    the standard IDE port/interrupt addresses, see the OS/2 online
    help information for configuring IBM1S506.ADD to reference the
    tape controller port.
