Subject: Re: backups and zip? hi there, i have only one question, but i am tryi
Hi Karen,
KL>i would prefer using pkzip as i donot have a second drive to play with.
KL>however do i type it just like that?
KL>pkzip -rp -& kl_back
Almost. I forgot to direct the zip file to the A: drive, but otherwise,
yes... exactly like this:
pkzip -rp -& a:\kl_back c:\*.*
I've added a c:\ as well, so you can start it from a dos prompt anywhere.
(so long as pkzip is on your path)
The zipfile name of kl_back is just what I made up... you can call
it anything you like, of course.
KL>i am not being difficult, but one never knows what
KL>important stuff you miss when using a screen reader.
Not at all... you are totally right in being careful about commands
like that, especially if all your data depends on it.
I know it's a lot more time and more disks, but if you can, you
should make a second backup, just to be safe. If you don't have
enough disks for all of it then change the c:\*.* to the directory
that is most important.
KL>i would guess it matters not which v of zip?
KL>i think i have 2.4 or 5
It will work perfectly with either 2.04 or 2.5 (I think that's
how the versions went)
KL>thanks sincerely,
You're most welcome. I hope it solves your problem.
Bon chance,
Mike
