OS/2 ReleaseNotes

If you use Os2/eCs for any length of time, then you probably lost or had problems with the Workplace Shell. And after a reboot and an ALT-F1,  you find out from the recovery screen that your last archive was 104 days ago or longer ?!?!

Download Auto_eCS/2 here: Auto_eCS.zip

*** Note: the networking option does not work -- anyone interested in fixing it please !!!

So, let's stop that right now.

Create a 7 day backup set

Right click on the Desktop and select properties, select Archives, select every 1 days, and Archives to Keep (set to 7).

Create cron job for WP Tools

The Auto_eCS package contain Cron/2 and WPTools32 from Hobbes ( it uses WPSBKP.EXE) and sets a Cron/2 job to backup your Desktop once a month or every two weeks !

Remove the # sign in the CRON2.DAT file to enable backups and change the paths to where you installed Auto_eCS.zip

It sets a backup to run on the 1st and 15th of each month at midnight, or use the WPS Backup/2 object for on-demand backups of the WPS.
