Use at your own risk !!!

ctBackup 1.20 (& beta) backup files are not compatible with older versions
ctBackup 1.10/1.11 backup files are not compatible with versions older than 1.00

If you don't want to risk anything
 - Do not use ctBackup, or
 - Use ctBackup, but don't restore a backup as long as your system works.
   Once it does not work anymore, ctBackup cannot do anything wrong.

ctBackup is designed for DOS and is full compatible with Windows 9x / ME.
ctBackup is not designed to use with Windows NT/2000/XP, as there is no DOS-Mode
to restore essentional files. ctBackup will not work on non dos-compatible
operating systems (Actually, I'm not shure if it will, so you may try at YOUR
OWN RISK)


What you should now:
 - When using all parameters, or having a long windows directory
   (e.g. Trash\Microsoft\Windows\98se), Windows PIF-files may cut the
   parameters. I shortened the commandline parameters, also it is not my fault.
 - Start ctBackup with parameter "/?" (without quotes) to get all supported
   commandline parameters (ctbackup /?)
 - If including ctBackup in AUTOEXEC.BAT, you should use options "/T:...", "/A"
   and "/P:...". (/T: defines timer, /A to create autobackups, /P: specifies
   directory for backups / file list) (This is done by the Windows installation
   program automatically)
 - When creating automatic backups without any description (/A), ctBackup will
   use the current date as description, and the current day as filename
   (AUTO__XX). Once your system doesn't work properly, manually create a new
   backup with detail description (e.g.: Buggy system, <date>), then restore
   an backup (if your latest backup doesn't work, as it was overwritten
   (containing your non-functional files), try the backup before, ...)
 - When creating automatic backups with an description (/A:Description),
   ctBackup will use your description, and the first 8 legal characters as
   filename (It's recommed to use no description). When using an description,
   only one backup-file is used, and until you recognize that your system does
   not work properly, your working backup is overwritten, containing your
   non-functional files)

Limitations:
 - Files not found won't be backuped, no warning
 - ctBackup can backup up to 512 files maximum
 - ctBackup can handle up to 512 backups. If more backups present, they will be
   ignored (no warning)
 - No folders will be created. If folder to restore does not exit, file will not
   be restored
 - If ctBackup fails restoring a file, the affected file will be skipped (no
   warning)
 - Only specified files will be stored. Only stored files will be restored
   (Somehow logical, isn't it?). Filenames for backup are always absolute, not
   relative.
 - All stored files will be restored, ignoring file list
 - Files which are in usage by other programmes can't be restored. (e.g. You can
   not restore some windows files while windows is running. You will have to go
   to dos mode first (That is why ctBackup is a DOS-Program)
 - When restoring files, the archive attribute is always set. System, readonly
   and hidden attributes will be applied according to the state the file was
   backuped
