SUMMARY:
Brief Description of How to create a backup set using a text editor.
DETAILS:
Step One:
For NT 3.51: From File Manager, click to highlight an UltraBac set. Next click on the menu bar option "File" and then click on "Associate". Scroll through the available options until "Text File (notepad.exe) is highlighted and then click on the "OK" button. This will associate NOTEPAD to every created "*UB" file.
For NT 4.0: From Windows NT Explorer, go to "View" / "Options" / "File Types" / "New Type". Put any description desired in the top field ("Description of type"), although "UltraBac Set Files" is recommended. In the "Associated extension" field, enter ".UB". Click "New" under "Action". Under "Action" type "Open", and in "Application Used...." field, browse until you find "Notepad.exe" (generally in the WinNT directory). Click "OK" and "Close" to exit.
Step Two:
Position the cursor to the "*.UB" file to be edited and double click. This will load the modifiable set into NOTEPAD.
Step Three:
Edit the set by altering the description line, the UNC line and the password line. If required, also modify the selection logic lines.
Step Four:
From the menu bar, select "File" and then "Save as". Enter a unique set name and click on "OK".
Step Five:
Repeat Steps 2 - 4 for every password protected share to be processed by the UltraBac backup Group.
