You are allowed to put this in your Homepage for downloads, in condition
any part of this , not be modified or changed, use the address and E-mail
below for any permissions.
================
This program was made originally by Uncle Gus but I modified, enlarged it, 
and made it more advanced with more features , it was made when it was found out and
reported officially that CFGBCK, ERU and when Win95 says will replace
registry with the backup is not 100% dependable, read this Readme.txt
first.
===========================
This is a fully working shareware with no time limit or any nagging
reminder, if you like it and I am very sure it would bail you out of
trouble and will save you lots time from trying to restore sytem files
manually.

=================================================
***** BE very careful, don't be double clicking those batch files
until you read this, print this right away and don't loose the
print out, keep it in a safe place.

***The zip file has three zip files, ERS, ERSA and ERSB.
If you want to use the three programs which I suggest you do,
just double click the Instdirs.bat, that will create five folders in
C drive.
 ERS, ERSA, ERSB, ERSB1 and ERSB2.
If you don't want all three, do this,
Make a new folder in C and call it ERS to use the ERS program only,

and ERSA to use the ERSA program only, ERSB needs three folders, ERSB
ERSB1 and ERSB2.
All above folders has to be made in C, will not work if you put it in
a temporary folder or all togeteher in one folder.

Extract ERS.zip and copy contents to the ERS folder.
Extract ERSA.zip and copy contents to the ERSA folder.
Extract ERSB.zip , copy backupb.bat and Restoreb.bat to the ERSB folder.
 then copy restore1.bat to ERSB1 folder and at last copy Restore2 to
the ERSB2 folder.


 ==================================

The five folders are three backup and restore program,
ERS, ERSA and ERSB
All three programs backup and restore the following files:
System.dat, System.da0, User.dat, User.da0, System.ini, Win.ini, 
Command.com, MSDOS.sys, IO.sys, Protocol.ini

each backup could take 1 to 2 mb of hard disk space, so if you use all three
programs then 5 to 10mb could be used for backup. It is worth it and it is the
best system backup/restore for Win95 , don't go without it.
----
***ERS and ERSA are identical except the names, giving you the option
of having two backups.
Open ERS and double click backup.bat, all the above files would
copy to c:\ERS.
***To restore from backup, start computer click F8 when says Starting Windows 95
and select the Command Prompt Only.
At the Command Prompt type  CD ERS  , once in  ERS just type
RESTORE   ,   restart computer. 
  *** ERSA is the same except you double click backupa.bat to backup
and type RESTOREA to restore from ERSA. Believe me you need more than
one backup done at different days and times.

Make shortcuts to Backup.bat and Backupa.bat to your Desktop or the
Start menu.

-------------------------------------

The ERSB is more advanced than the above, it is best run if you have 
System Agent from Microsoft Plus found at all software shops.
Setup System Agent to run backupb.bat  daily.
Or you can make a shortcut to backupb.bat to your Desktop and run it
manually every day.
This what it does:
  Once you double click backupb.bat every day, on the third day,
you will have three backups,
in ERSB will have the latest, ERSB1 will have yesterdays and ERSB2
will have the day before yesterday.

To restore as in ERS above, start computer, click F8 when says Starting Windows 95,
select the Command Prompt Only,
it depends from what day you want to do the restore,
From current date, type CD ERSB and then type RESTOREB  .
From yesterday, type CD ERSB1 and type RESTORE1   .
From day before yesterday, type CD ERSB2 and type RESTORE2  .


___________________________________________
You can safely practice with this program, BUT DON't Double CLICK the RESTORE.BAT
in Windows.
Don't forget to type this readme.txt and save it for a rainy day.
Always do backups before you install any program.
This program will for sure get you out of trouble.
--------------------------
That's how I use mine.
I have System Agent and I have scheduled to backup daily using the ERSB
program and to backup once a week using the ERSA program, I use the ERS
just before I install any program or before editing the registry or system files.
