VERSION 1.30
S5/6000 NEW FEATURES
APOLOGY?!
As mentioned, the SCSI COPY function simply makes a mirror image copy of one disk to
another to create safety backups of important data. This erases all data on the destination disk
and, of course, requires the destination disk to be the same size as (or larger than) the
source disk.
We realise that ideally you want to just copy parts of one disk to a backup disk (for example,
selected folders) and maybe parts of another disk to the same backup disk but this is not
possible in this version. Subsequent releases will improve the backup capabilities and this '1st-
phase' release which, whilst admittedly not ideal, is considered better than no backup at all or
the alternative of loading data into memory from one disk and saving it to a backup disk (which,
of course, is still possible).
The release option was "Should we disable this function until we have a full backup function
implemented or shall we release it as is?" and we decided on the latter as being better than
nothing at all .
