Thank you for your interest in Backer 6!
----------------------------------------

You will find Backer extremely helpful with all 
tasks related to files and directories on your 
computer(s). Any computer that can run Windows 98, 
Me, NT4, 2000 or XP can run Backer. The screen 
resolution must be at least 800 x 600.

As with any new software, you should test it with 
UNIMPORTANT data to verify correct operation.

All users should read the introduction in the help 
file.
If you have already worked with previous versions 
of Backer switching to version 6 will cause no 
problems.
If you are a new user please work through the 
examples in the help file and use only the wizards 
and the Express Setup in the first time.

License
-------

many clients are permitted to access the program as 
licenses have been purchased. If clients are 
accessed from the server only as many clients are 
permitted to be accessed as licenses have been

Trial Version
-------------
Backer is distributed as a trial version. The 
difference between trial version and licensed 
version is a reminder screen on program start and 
disabling of keys F3 to F12. You may use the trial 
version for 30 days. After that you must either 
delete the software completely or purchase a 
license.

Distribution Policy
-------------------
Permission is granted to any individual or business 
to distribute the trial version of Backer, provided 
they convey a complete and unaltered copy of the 
entire package (recompression and decompression is 
permitted, as well as adding files with distributor 
information). This permission pertains to any kind 
of media including WWW and FTP server, CD-ROM, CD-R 
and CD-RW, online service and BBS, any form of 
packaging and bundling, and any distribution fee. 
The author may revoke any permissions granted here 
by notification in writing; a revocation does not 
pertain to media already manufactured.

Installation
------------
For installation run SETUP.EXE.

Upgrade
-------
The upgrade from 6.0 to 6.1 is free for licensed 
users. The license key is the same.
Please install Backer 6.1 into an new directory and 
not over an older version.
When starting Backer 6.1 attempts to copy your 
existing settings in the INI file. If that fails 
please do the following:
1. Use Windows File Search to search for files 
named BACKER50.INI or BACKER6.INI.
2. Delete the INI file for your fresh installation 
of Backer 6.1. This should be the newest of all 
files named BACKER6.INI.
3. Copy the newest of all remaining INI files into 
the Backer 6.1 directory.
4. If necessary, rename this file to BACKER6.INI.
5. Start Backer 6.1. It should now run as a 
licensed version.
