OT: How to use recovery Edge program - details needed

[Joe Chasan]

What version of microlite backupedge is it?
For the 2.x and 3.x series, you can still download documentation from the
Microlite website.  See https://www.microlite.com/documentation/documentation.html

If you have older, I found version 1.2 docs here and I can email to you off-list if you want/need.

I really don't recall what version had what in recoveredge, but if the
hard disk is same size, ideally it is menu driven, menu option to do
"one touch restore".   If disk is different, you definitely would have
to do the format/divvy/fdisk steps manually, then mount all filesystems,
before attempting restore.

If your system (os & version?) is very old, there may also be restrictions on
partition size, which I really dont' rememer details of.

If you are still using floppies, you also have to pray to the appropriate
diety that they are still good, as they do have a limited shelf life.

Even though Tom Podnar is no longer with us, Microlite is still around and
would be the best source of support for this, albeit based on the age of
your system they'd probably charge for it.
