			     Ver 1.04
                           Nov 07, 1993  


Version 1.04 is another bug fix and enhancement release.

NOTE: If you are using tapes that were previously written by another
backup program that uses multiple partitions, they should be erased
before using them with BakupWiz. This will be detected and
automatically handled in a future release.

NOTE: There has been a change in the format of the configuration file.
Your existing configuration files will no longer work properly and you 
must reconfigure and resave any custom configurations you may have. My
apologies for this inconvenience. Any future changes in the
configuration file will    be backward compatible.


Changes


* Added a method of reconfiguring a listed tape drive.
* Added -UE command line switch - Erase tape (before other
  operations).
* Added -UR command line switch - Rewind tape (before other
  operations).
* Add Config option to place the BakupWiz temporary files in a
  user specifiable directory, rather than the current directory.
  Use the Configuration Panel "Edit Tempfile Path" parameter to
  set this drive/directory. Note: any directories you specify 
  must already exist.
* Added capability to backup/restore to any specified path/file.
  Use the Configuration Panel "Edit Tape Image Path" parameter to
  set this drive/directory/file. Note: any directories you specify 
  must already exist. This is not yet a general purpose backup to
  removable medium since it does not yet have the capability to swap
  to new media. It will backup properly as long as the entire
  backup will fit on the drive it is being written to.


Fixed Bugs


* Fixed trap when using command line directory operation.
* Fixed problem introduced in 1.03 where certain files that are
  always supposed to be skipped (EA DATA . SF, WP ROOT . SF, 
  SWAPPER.DAT, etc.) were being included in the backup. These files
  typically then caused open or suspect errors.
* Fixed problem restoring the Template folder.
* Put in a workaround for the Archive 2525 tape unwinding problem.


			     Ver 1.03
                           Oct 24, 1993  


Version 1.03 is another bug fix and enhancement release.

NOTE: If you are using tapes that were previously written by another
backup program that uses multiple partitions, they should be erased
before using them with BakupWiz. Thsi will be detected and
automatically handled in a future release.


Changes


* Put in sanity checks to catch corrupt HPFS volumes being backed up.
* Allow QFA to be disabled via Config.


Fixed Bugs


* Fixed bug that was occasionally restoring directories as files 
  and vice versa.
* Command line backup sessions that required multiple tapes used to
  overwrite the first tape without prompting. A prompt now appears.
* Backup scan was not always finding single files that were
  explicitly specified.
* Fixed trap when command line backup found no tape in the drive.



			     Ver 1.02
                           Oct 04, 1993  


Version 1.02 is a minor bug fix and enhancement release. To install,
just copy all the files from this diskette into the directory where you
have OS/2 BakupWiz installed. If you have made many customizations in
your default config file, BWS5.CFG, you might want to save your copy or
not copy the default one from the distribution diskette.


Changes


* Remember the name of the last loaded or saved Config file. This name
  will be presented as the default choice for further config file
  operations.


Fixed Bugs


* Fixed SYS3175 error when restoring files with VERY LARGE extended
  attribute sets.
* Fixed erroneous SUSPECT errors due to invalid time stamps form older
  DOS files.
* Repaired another problem in dealing with very large EA sets.



			     Ver 1.01
                           Sep 26, 1993  


Version 1.01 is a minor bug fix and enhancement release. To install,
just copy all the files from this diskette into the directory where you
have OS/2 BakupWiz installed. If you have made many customizations in
your default config file, BWS5.CFG, you might want to save your copy or
not copy the default one from the distribution diskette.


Changes


* Better SWAPPER.DAT detection. 
* Using -B and -V forces auto verify after the backup.
* Added -D command line directory operation.
* Ship PATCH.EXE with OS/2 BakupWiz. This allows the applicaton of
  changes and fixes without reshipping the entire package. Since the
  patches are only useful for owners of OS/2 BakupWiz, they will also
  be posted in public elecronic areas for easier customer access.


Fixed Bugs


* Fixed erroneous SUSPECT errors.
* Fixed create errors for files in root dir.
* Fixed the operation of the restore exclude option.
* Fixed Restore Tree option.
* Backing up the OS/2 .INI files often gave Verify or Suspect errors.
  This has been fixed by first making copies of these files and backing
  up those copies. This prevents any changes OS/2 might make to the INI
  files from producing errors.




			     Ver 1.00
                           Sep 10, 1993  


* There is an extra file on the distribution diskette. It is BWS5.CFG -
  default configuration file.

* This note only applies if you are running an Adaptec 1742 SCSI
  controller. DO NOT select the RESET option from the Utilities Menu!
  Doing so will cause a trap in the AHA174X.ADD driver supplied by
  Adaptec. It is an Adaptec problem and they are working on it.
