Hello All,

I am a new user of The Bat and love it! I don't think I could ever go
back to anything else. Anyway, I wanted to put my two cents in on the
subject of backing up The Bat. I use these two simple batch files to
backup and restore everything to and from the "D" partition of my hard
drive. It works assuming the command line version of the "RAR"
archiver program being in the path. I have it in the Windows
directory. It would of corse work with Pkzip, ARJ or which ever
archiving program you use. I hope they help. I know they sure have
come in handy for me. They look like this:

This one backs up everything including the registry key.
---------------------------------------------------------
@echo=off
cd\
cls
cd thebat
echo.
echo.
echo This batch file will backup the entire Bat email program and all
echo messages plus the Bat registry file to D:\BAT for easy restoring.
echo.
echo Make sure to run this batch file from the "C" drive.
echo.
pause
cls
rar a -r d:\bat\allbat.rar
regedit /e d:\bat\tbreg.reg hkey_current_user\software\rit
cd\
cls


And to restore:
----------------------------------------------------------
@echo=off
cd\
cls
echo.
echo.
echo This will restore the Bat program, all messages and the bat registry.
echo.
pause
rar x d:\bat\allbat.rar c:\thebat
cls
echo.
echo.
echo The last step is to restore the Bat's registry file.
echo.
pause
regedit /c d:\bat\tbreg.reg
