EasyADF Backup question...

[Calimeiro]

You might exclude a directory like this:

lha -aerx a dest:backupfile dh0:~(whdload/)#?

else you could set 'A' attrib to directory whdload  and use -s to ignore Archiv attrib. Set -S to put A on every backuped file, so you do some incremental backup only saving new files with no A attrib when running lha again.

lha -aerxzsS a dest:backupfile dh0:#?

Third way (i didn't check) is to create a file list from which lha reads what to archive.

Did you use -z because of speed considerations? Became quite a large backup file then.

Best regards

I don't have FastATA or any of the nifty devices you're using.
Afair Mask and Max Transfer are set for every single partition.

Disk errors may occur on bad settings as well as on intererupted write operations.

SFS and PFS are a bit more robust than old FFS.

thomas here on a.org or on eab and other forums is the expert for disks and filesystems. Ask him.

Use a small disk/partition for system only and put games/programs in different disk/partition to avoid worst case scenarios like loosing everything because of bad disk/partition.
