Hi Harry, hello everbody
I appreciate very much your efforts with the REXX scripts for
saving
important files ;-)

Myself I do not like very much the offline backups and restores
;-(
We better should learn and show the features OS/2 does include
;-))

Every OS/2 Warp has a reliable way to save its important system
files !

It is its own archive and you find it under WPS Properties !!

Unfortunately like many other good things with OS/2 it
is prepared insufficiently !!!

After OS/2 is installed it creates the first archive which is
displayed as
0 = Zero while booting under "Recovery Choices"

Hint:
The WPS properties tab "Archive" shows 3 possible settings:

1) A button to activate archiving

I suggest not to activate permanently !
If you save a malfunctioning or misbehavioring system soon one is
stucked ;-(

My use of this button is very specific:
Before I am going to do experiments with unknown stuff I am doing
an archive
to be sure to have a working roll back !

2) A path, where to save the archives

Normally, this is stored in the OS/2 system partition
x:\OS2\Archives but could be on
ones data partition instead with setting that specific path i.e.
my direction: H\OS2\Archives
to be included in a more frequent backup procedure ;-)

3) A button for Displaying the Recovery Choices

With todays fast systems I always activate this button and set
for 3 seconds !
So I do not have to wait too long for my system otherwise it is
long enough
to select a specific choice if necessary.

Very important is also to add some more entries of important
files to the file OS2.KEY !
With all your important entries in this OS2.KEY file one need to
do an archive run
very frequently to keep 3 generations plus a basic generation = 4
archives, ie like:

1) Archive created 10.10.2002 10.10.22
2) Archive created 01.10.2002 10.01.34
3) Archive created 30.09.2002 09.30.34
0) Original archive from INSTALL created 30.09.2002 09.00.06

Another hint:
With ARCINST one can replace the archive stored under 0 = zero !
You see mine was created on September 30iest before monthly
backups ;-)
Why to do so ?

The first archive (the first one after system installation or any
previous one may not
contain newer drivers i.e. your newer SCSI adapter and booting
with F2 one will get
some error messages therefor.

Another trick:
If you check the archives entries you will see a match between
date and time !
That is my control function ;-) If date is October 1st then time
has to be 10 and 01 !!
This shows that I did this specific archive run ...
... if these two do not match I may have forgotten to switch off
the archiving button
and so I may not use that errorously archived generation !!!

Well, I will stop here.
I am sure if one uses the archiving system like I have learnt ...
... one will not suffer to get ones system running after problems
very fast again ;-)

If one has any suggestions I appreciate every input for a more
better solution ;-))

Regards, svobi

PS- one more add-on:

On and off I had gotten a CHKDSK after some system problems with
a message
displayed that "scenter.cfg or dll" (!?) had some problems !
Since then I am doing some manual copy of these 2 files to a
location off the
system partition !!
I this error happens I do need to restore these two files only !!!

Subject: SCOUG-Help: config.sys

Butch,

If you do not have a reliable way to back up your important
system files
(like the CONFIG.SYS and OS2.INI files), attached please find 4
scripts
that you can use to help you with that task.

Use the REXX program, BUTCH.CMD, to copy (back up) the following
files:

1. CONFIG.SYS
2. ...,\Desktop\*.*
3. ...,\OS2\OS2.INI
4. ...,\OS2\OS2SYS.INI
5. ...,\OS2\DLL\SCENTER.CFG
6. ...,\OS2\DLL\DOCK*.CFG

It will copy up to 20 generations of these files. It creates the
following folders on your boot drive (I believe your boot drive is
"C:\", right?):

C:\BUTCH
C:\BUTCH\Desktop
C:\BUTCH\Desktop\Backup_01
C:\BUTCH\Desktop\Backup_02
C:\BUTCH\Desktop\Backup_03
...,
...,
C:\BUTCH\Desktop\Backup_20

The most recent, backed up generation will be in
"C:\BUTCH\Desktop\Backup_01". After that, the next recent will be
in
"C:\BUTCH\Desktop\Backup_02", etc., etc.

When you run the program, it erases everything in
"C:\BUTCH\Desktop\Backup_20" and moves everything else down one.
"C:\BUTCH\Desktop\Backup_19" becames "C:\BUTCH\Desktop\Backup_20",
"C:\BUTCH\Desktop\Backup_18" becomes
"C:\BUTCH\Desktop\Backup_19", etc.
Finally, the backup that it makes is stored in
"C:\BUTCH\Desktop\Backup_01".

You MUST place BUTCH.CMD somewhere on your boot partition
(anywhere on
the C:\ drive). DO NOT place it on D:\, or E:\, etc. If you do,
it will
NOT work.

Next, the 3 programs, BUTCH1.CMD, BUTCH2.CMD and BUTCH3.CMD, are
OS/2
batch file programs. Use them to restore the following files to
your
system:

Batch Program Restore Files
BUTCH1.CMD OS2.INI, OS2SYS.INI

BUTCH2.CMD CONFIG.SYS

BUTCH3.CMD Desktop\*.*

These 3 programs are designed to use from a floppy diskette. The
idea is
that you cannot boot your system, because of some problem with
these
files. Or, perhaps you can boot, but your desktop is wiped out/in
error,
etc. If so, you boot up a minimal OS/2 system, using your OS/2
utility
diskettes (I assume that you do not have an OS/2 maintenance
partition
on your system and that you boot from floppies, when you have
trouble).

So therefore, you boot up a minimal OS/2 system from the utility
diskettes. Then, you switch to the diskette that has BUTCH1.CMD,
BUTCH2.CMD and BUTCH3.CMD. Using these you restore from the
archived
generations that you made with BUTCH.CMD. For example, suppose
you want
to restore your CONFIG.SYS file, saved in
C:\BUTCH\Desktop\Backup_03. If
so, you type and enter "BUTCH2.CMD 03" on the commandline
(without the
quotes). If you want to restore the desktop files saved in
C:\BUTCH\Desktop\Backup_19, you type and enter "BUTCH3.CMD 19" on
the
commandline. If you want to restore the OS2.INI and OS2SYS.INI
files,
stored on C:\BUTCH\Desktop\Backup_05, you type and enter
"BUTCH1.CMD
05".

If you use a maintenance partition, you can save these 3 programs,
BUTCH1.CMD, BUTCH2.CMD and BUTCH3.CMD anywhere on that partition
and use
them from there. You have to go to an OS/2 commandline to use
them. Use
a full screen commandline, not a windowed commandline. These 3
programs
are batch file programs, not REXX programs. If you are using the
utility
diskettes, REXX will not be available in your minimal OS/2
system. But
batch programs will work there. That's why they are batch
programs!

Well, you can use these programs, or not! It's your choice.
Notice that
I did not write a batch program to restore the
...,\OS2\DLL\SCENTER.CFG
and ..,\OS2\DLL\DOCK*.CFG files. You can do that, if you like,
using the
BUTCH1.CMD, BUTCH2.CMD and BUTCH3.CMD examples.
