[. . . ] To overwrite a file and remove its name from the list, highlight the name and choose the Force button. To prevent the overwriting (replacing) of all files named in the dialog box, choose the Done button. Though you can use Clone Directory to replicate entire drives, do so with caution. Never replicate one drive onto another unless the DOS versions are identical. Ë ! 76 Chapter 4 Refresh: Updating a directory ou can use the Refresh Directory command to update a backup directory quickly. After opening the backup (target) directory and the working (source) directory, choose the Refresh Directory command from the SmartXchange menu. You have the choice of including or excluding files in subdirectories. (Refresh Directory is available only when the Long Menus command is in effect. ) The Refresh Directory command is designed for the convenience of anyone who backs up the same files to the same backup directory repeatedly. Using this single command, you can update your backup without having to search through your files and make selections. Refresh Directory copies files from the open directory on the source only if they exist on the target directory and are newer than those files. Y Using Refresh Directory is similar to using the Copy command when Newer Files Only and Existing Files Only are selected in the Copy Options dialog box. To use Refresh Directory: 1 Create your backup by selecting the appropriate files and copying them to a backup directory on a floppy or or hard disk. 2 When you have worked on the files and are ready to back them up again, open the backup directory in the target window. 3 In the source window, open the directory containing the files you want to back up. (Note that you do not have to select any files. ) 4 With the highlight bar still in the source window, choose Refresh Directory from the SmartXchange menu. 5 If the source directory has subdirectories you do not want copied, clear the Include Lower Level Subdirectories option (press [I]). 6 After verifying that the source and the target named in the dialog box are correct, choose the OK button to begin copying (press [O]). SmartXchange and recorded operations 77 The Refresh Directory command is a quick means of updating files you have backed up beforehand. Before using this command, open the backup (target) directory in one window and the working (source) directory in the other. In the screen above, the floppy disk in drive A (right window) has been set up as the backup for the BOOKS directory in drive D. Excluded from the backup are two files (RUN. EXE and SAVE. BAT) and one directory (POETRY). Refresh Directory will not include these items when it updates the backup. Choose Refresh Directory from the SmartXchange menu. Verify that the source and target named here are correct. If you do not want to include subdirectories of the directory you have opened on the source, clear this option. With the option selected, the MANUALS and NOVELS directories in the example above will be updated.
