NOTES: The program does not manipulate the “backup bits” un-
less it is altered to do so (see above). This has no real purpose if
you do only full volume backups. In fact this program does not
manipulate the data on the disk in any way. You will find that a
restored volume is identical to what it was when the backup was
made, right down to the create dates on your files.
You can test these programs using only scratch floppies to see
how they work before you commit yourself to using them on hard
disk. To do this just specify one of the floppy drives as the
original and the other floppy drive as the destination.
5.21 RESTORE.FAKE
Is identical to RESTORE except that it writes nothing to any disk.
It substitutes reads for writes. You can use it as a test program
just to see how RESTORE works, with no possibility of destroy-
ing any information on your hard disk. It allows you to verify
that the backup was successful.
