The PikaBACKUP program will enable you to make a back up
your internal disk or one of its directories to a FlyCASE with
USB or FireWire.
PikaBACKUP only works with FlyCASE PikaOne disks.
It works with Win 98 SE, Me, 2000 and XP.
Only files authorized by Windows can be copied.
Messages will be displayed in French if Windows is in French,
and in English for all other versions of Windows.
You will find this software very useful for saving your critical
data, as it alerts you to any problem that may arise on your
computer’s internal hard disk.
We advise you to organize your internal hard disk and save all
your work files (Wo rd, Excel, Photoshop, etc.) in the “My Docu-
ments” dire c t o ry. Having done this, you can back up all your
work with PIKABACKUP, entering “My Documents” as the
s o u rce dire c t o ry containing the sub-directories where you have
stored all your documents.
It is not worth backing up your entire hard disk, since, if a pro-
blem occurs, you can always reinstall software from your ori-
ginal CDs. This method will enable you to:
• Manage your internal hard disk in the best possible way.
• Not saturate your FlyCASE with useless data.
• Quickly retrieve all your files.
• Make backups more quickly.
PikaBACKUP has many advantages:
• It will only back up data that you have modified.
• It will store your data in a dire c t o ry, the title of which will
state the date and time of the last backup, and will continuously
be updated after each backup.
• It will automatically detect insertion of your FlyCASE and will
automatically run to update your backup (page 4).
• On the same FlyCASE backup disk, you can back up a num-
ber of volumes from different sources.
PikaBACKUP will recognize them and only update the re l e v a n t
destination directories.
• In every dire c t o ry of every backup it creates an “OLD” dire c-
t o ry where it stores the last version of modified files. If you
decide to remove these old versions from your backup FlyCASE,
you can simply remove them using the Windows file scanner.
• It will allow you to re s t o re your files by dragging and dro p-
ping these files to your work disk.
