Hi all,
Yes, I am sorry that, when moving from one ISP to another, I lost all
of the files in the "compusofl" download area on sanbachs.com. As I
get messages from people needing these files, I always refer them to
our helpful community. Welcome, Otto.
Zipping is okay for backup, but only if you are very sure that no one
is updating the database while you are backing it up. The advantage of
DPBACKUP is that it locks the database while it is copying the data
files, to ensure the integrity of the backup copies.
For my on-line databases, I always list the last modified date/time of
each data file, then do the zipping, and finally check the last
modified date/time again. If these have changed for even one data, TXX
or IND file, then I do the zipping over again. Without taking this
precaution, you risk a corrupted database, should you ever have to
restore.
We (the DP development group) once received a defect report for DP
from another WordPerfect group that used DP for a very important
purpose. Because of the importance, the leader of that group made
frequent backup copies of the data files to be safe. Ironically, when
he restored from these backup copies (that had been made while the
database was active) he caused corruption. This, in part, motivated
the creation of DPBACKUP.
Best wishes,
Bruce

Hi Otto
I downloaded it in 1999 from http://www.sanbachs.com/

Hey there!
I am in need of a version of DPBACKUP to recover data backed up
some years ago – I don’t know the exact time when this was done, I
just have three files (DPBACKUP.001, DPBACKUP.002 and DPBACKUP.003)
and need to extract as much as possible of these – can anyone
provide me with a DPBACKUP.EXE that I may try to use?
