1.  What is QuickBackup  
=========================  
QuickBackup is McAfee's personal backup and data management utility   
for Windows 95. Using QuickBackup, you can backup and restore data at   
any time without relying on someone else, such as the LAN   
Administrator, for storage management. QuickBackup provides a simple   
and effective method for protecting your data without the need   
for tape drives or additional equipment.  

1a.  Whats New for this Version
===============================
Virtual Folder Drag and Drop
This version now supports drag and drop to and from the repository.
Drag and drop from the repository supports redirection (ie you can
drag the file to a different location than it's original location).

Missed Scheduled Backup Notification
QuickBackup now has missed backup notification if a scheduled
backup is missed because of:

   a.  The user hits "cancel"
   b.  The machine if off when the schedule should run or;
   c.  The connection to FTP or LAN could not be made.

Saving Backup Copies of your Configuration
In case you experience a disaster (such as a hard disk crash), it 
is recommended that you make at least one copy of your configuration.  
The program automates this task by prompting you at the end of the 
first-time configuration, and whenever prompting you that the 
configuration has changed.  When the configuration changes and you 
go to exit, the program will ask if you wish to save the configuration.  
At the same time, the prompt asks if you wish to make a backup copy 
of your configuration.  You may select the default location for the 
backup of the configuration, or press the "browse" button to change 
the location.

Making a backup copy of the configuration is critical in the event 
that your system crashes.  When the program saves the configuration, 
it also saves away the compression and encryption information that is 
needed to decrypt and decompress files that were copied into the 
repository.  The default configuration is kept in the Windows Registry.  
If the system crashes and you need to re-install Windows, you will lose 
the configuration.  You should then re-install PSM.  If you had formerly 
selected to encrypt files, you will have to either remember your former 
encryption key, or you can use a backed up copy of the configuration 
(which contains the encryption key information).

RESTORING A PREVIOUSLY SAVED CONFIGURATION
In the event that you lose your configuration information, you can 
restore a formerly backed up copy of the configuration.  To do this, 
use the File/Open command from the Protection Manager main screen.  
Open the CONFIG.PSM file that was saved (if you used the default 
location, it'll be on the floppy disk).  Then select the "Save as 
default" command on the file menu.  Now your configuration is restored 
to what it was the last time you saved it.

RESTORING FTP FILE INFORMATION
The program maintains a file (FTPCACHE.DAT -- contained in the PSM 
installation directory) that contains information about the files 
that get copied to an FTP repository.  When you select to have the 
program make a backup copy of your configuration, the program will 
also make a backup copy of the FTPCACHE.DAT file to the save location.  
This is true only if you're currently using FTP as your repository 
location.  If you have a system crash or somehow lose your current 
FTPCACHE.DAT file, you can restore it from this location.  The 
FTPCACHE.DAT file is also copied to your FTP site named in your FTP 
setup information in the PSM configuration.  The file is uploaded to 
the root of your repository.

2. Using FTP Icon Connection with QuickBackup on the Internet  
===============================================================  
FTP Icon Connection is the QuickBackup program that connects you to   
an FTP (File Transfer Protocol) server for backing up and   
retrieving data. QuickBackup doesn't actually "make" the Internet   
connection. The user is responsible for providing the Internet   
account and activating the connection for use. The Internet   
account needs to support PPP (Point to Point Protocol) and/or   
TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol).    
QuickBackup allows the backup repository to reside on an FTP server.    
The user account on the FTP service must be PPP or TCP/IP   
enabled.  Contact your local ISP (Internet Service Provider) or   
surf to http://www.mcafee.com for information on obtaining and using an   
FTP shell on the Internet.   
  
3.  What is FTP?  
================  
FTP is a communications protocol that is used to control the flow   
of TCP/IP packets across the Internet and intranets for the   
purpose of transferring files between nodes.  
  
4.  Using QuickBackup on an Intranet  
======================================  
An intranet is a private network that has the same look, feel and   
operation as the Internet and operates on Internet protocols. If   
your corporation or group has FTP services on the network you may   
request a user account and password to access the server locally   
and/or remotely. Contact the network adminstrator. QuickBackup needs   
configuration information to access the FTP server. Your network   
administrator will provide the Domain Name Services (DNS) name or   
explicit IP (Internet Protocol) address, user name and password   
to be used during configuration.  
  
5.  Dial-Up Networking  
======================  
Dial-Up networking is a Windows 95 service you can configure to   
connect your computer to an Internet Service Provider, a private   
network or directly to another computer with a modem.  If a dial-  
up networking connection is configured for the ISP, when FTP Icon   
Connection is called by QuickBackup for either backup or restore, the   
dial-up connection is called and the connection made.    
  
	Connecting to an Internet Service Provider  
	==========================================  
	To connect to an Internet Service Provider using the Windows   
	95 dialer, follow the procedure below:  
	1.  Set up the Dial-Up Networking icon.  
	2.  Verify that the Dial-Up Adapter and TCP/IP protocol are   
	installed.  
	3.  Configure the TCP/IP protocol for dynamic IP addressing.  
	4.  Set up the Connection Icon.  
	5.  Set up the Dial-Up properties.  
	6.  Dial in to the ISP.  
  
	Netcom has written about how to connect to their Internet   
	Service using the Windows 95 dialer. This document can be   
	accessed  through the Internet at the following address:  
	  
	http://www.netcom.com/bin/webtech/NetCruiser/Operating_Syste  
	ms/win95.dial.html  
  
	Connecting to a Private Network  
	===============================  
	The methods already described may be applicable to connect   
	to many private networks. The following points are   
	important:  
	1.  If you are going to use an FTP site to store the backup   
	files, you need to establish a TCP/IP connection to your   
	network.  
	2.  All internetwork connections that result in mapping a   
	drive on the remote share will enable the exported volume to   
        act as a backup repository for QuickBackup.  
  
  
	Connecting Directly to Another Computer	  
	=======================================   
	Microsoft supports direct connections between two computers   
	via the parallel port and also modem connections using dial-  
	up networking.  These connections result in shared directories  
        which can be mapped as a drive letter and used with QuickBackup. 
	Refer to the Microsoft documentation for configuration	procedures.  
   
6.   How to Configure the Microsoft Plus Pak Internet Control Panel for  
Auto Winsock Dialing  
=============================================================  
To configure the Plus Pak Internet component, you must first   
install the TCP/IP protocol.  Go to Control Panel, Network. Click   
Add, then Protocol. Click Microsoft in the Manufacturers column,   
and then click Microsoft TCP/IP. Bind TCP/IP to the Dial-Up   
Networking adapter.  Enter the TCP/IP information.   
  
Now select Add/Remove Components, Internet Jumpstart Kit from the   
Plus Pak. It will automatically get the information entered into   
the TCP/IP protocol. Follow the instructions on the screen.  
  
7.  Remote Network Connections  
==============================    
Remote network connections that result in mapped drive letters   
can be used as a repository, (i.e. RAS {Remote Access Server},   
NFS {Network File System}).  
  
8.  About Tape Backup
=====================
QuickBackup has tape drive support for backing up and restoring data.
If selecting SCSI tape for your repository location, QuickBackup will
allow you to perform tape operation from the Tape menu.  Viewing the tape
contents is done through the QuickBackup Explorer.  

9.  System Requirements

11.  Hints on ImageStor  
=======================  
ImageStor does a sector by sector image backup of the specified   
drive to another drive of equal or greater capacity, to a file   
image located on a network drive, or to a SCSI tape drive. To   
copy the disk image to a file on a network drive you must have as   
much file space available as the disk that you are copying.  
  
12.  ImageStor - Real Mode Drivers  
==================================  
ImageStor will attempt to locate drivers by scanning CONFIG.SYS   
and AUTOEXEC.BAT under Windows 95 for the creation of the boot   
diskette. But this may not be sufficient. Because Windows 95 does   
not require many of the real mode drivers traditionally used by   
DOS and Windows 3.1 (for example, ASPI SCSI drivers or DOS mouse   
drivers), these files may not be called out by CONFIG.SYS or   
AUTOEXEC.BAT. These drivers may not even exist on the Windows 95   
hard disk.  If this is the case, you may need to refer to the   
manufacturer of your hardware to obtain the necessary drivers   
needed to create a bootable diskette. In most cases, these   
drivers are accessible by accessing the manufacturer's BBS or FTP   
(Internet) site if you cannot locate the original diskettes that   
came with the hardware.

15.  Troubleshooting /Tips 
========================== 
There are times when the registery gets corrupted under Windows 95.  The  
following is a step by step procedure to restoring your registery. 
 
	1.  Click the Start button, and then click Shut Down 
	2.  Click Restart the computer in MS-DOS Mode, and then click Yes. 
	3.  Change to your Windows directory.  for example, if your Windows  
	directory is C:\Windows, you would type the following: cd  
	c:\windows 
	4.  Type the following commands, pressing ENTER after each one.  
	(note that SYSTEM.DA0 and USER.DA0 contain the number zero). 
		ATTRIB -h -r -s system.dat 
		ATTRIB -h -r -s system.da0 
		COPY system.da0 system.dat 
		ATTRIB -h -r -s user.dat 
		ATTRIB -h -r -s user.da0 
		COPY user.dao user.dat 
	5.  Restart your computer 
	Tip:  Following this procedure will restore your registery to its  
	state when you last successfully started your computer. 
 

When using Tape, some tape drives do not physically eject the tape 
(SCSI QIC for instance).  In order to reinitialize the tape, you must 
remove the tape and then reinsert the tape. 


If uninstalling QuickBackup, for a clean installation a reboot is required.
This will ensure that all .DLLs (Dynamic Link Libraries) are cleared from 
memory.
