According to the glossy manual that came with the A3000, there are supposed
to be two hard disk backup programs that come with the DOS 2.0 system.
One is the HDBackup backup and restore utility described starting on page
6-14 in the manual, and the other is BRU described in appendix C. Both
are supposed to be on the DOS 2.0 Extras disk.
* Only they aren't there on my A3000 ! *
There was a two page stapled addendum describing how to use the distribution
diskettes to reconstruct the hard disk to the original C= configuration
and how to boot DOS 1.3, but there were no errata sheets describing
missing features such as the HD backup facilities.
When I was picking up the machine at the dealers, I asked the salesperson
whether I needed to buy an HD backup program sush as Quarterback. He
specifically said that it wasn't necessary because a backup utility came
with the system!
I would like to hear from other A3000 owners, whether their systems came
with the promised HD backup programs. I would also like to hear from
anyone (preferably a C= source) about how I should go about getting
the missing pieces.
Oh and I'd like to hear from others what else might be missing.
