Backup Pilot Files - urgent

[Morris 2]

Gentlemen,

 

Sorry for asking again about the above topic.

 

My HD with OFF installed is giving problems. I need to reinstall windows and OFF.

 

Please, is there a secure way of backing up the pilot files.

 

Please Please.

 

Thanking you in advance.

Write to Herr Prop-Wasche - he made a backup program for just this case.

And check the downloads section for it.

 

Here it is:

If in the process of re-installing windows you need to reformat your hard drive, be sure to first save the MyOFFBackupFiles folder to an external storage device.

Thanks for the great program HPW. It saved my DID pilot.

 

but the program did not copy the "pilot claims" file over? Did i do something wrong?

Ah, I didn't test whether the pilot claims get saved or not. My guess is that my program does not currently save your claims. I'll check and see if I can remedy that or not, but don't get your hopes up.

[Herr Prop-Wasche 7]

Eureka! Well, not really eureka, but I have found you can backup your claims file after all. Each pilot should have a file called Pilot[x]Claims.txt in the same place as the other pilot files. I will have a revised version of my backup program with this addition available for download on Monday.

THANX HPW,

 

the claims are very very important.

 

Its a great little program you wrote and it works like a charm.

 

Cheers

Ahhh, wern't nuthin'!

 

Actually, it was very simple to write, once I got the DOS terminology down. The update should now be available on the downloads forum.
