First install the program and the scripts.  The scripts are a self extracting
file that currently defaults to C:\jaws37U\settings\enu.  If you are using
a different release of Jaws, adjust accordingly.

After you install the program, you will have an entry for Inachis on your
programs menu.  Enter or right arrow to open the submenu.  You will hear
e-backup.  Enter on that and then enter again on e-backup to start the
program.

When you start the program, it will tell you to press control shift E for
the available functions.  Control shift e will present you with a list of
e-backup functions.  Insert H will remind you of this keystroke.

The available functions in the list box are:
"Create a new backup"
"Restore a backup"
"Schedule a backup"
"Advanced configuration options"
"The Inachis website"
"on line help and support for e-backup"
"check for e-backup product updates"
"register e-backup 1.0"
"exit e-backup"

If you select 'Create a new backup' you will be in a standard save as type
dialog and a filename will already be specified such as Backup 2001-03-04.
The default folder where the backup will be saved will be my documents, you
can specify another folder if you wish.

Enter on 'Save' to continue.

In the next window, you can specify which items you want to backup. There
are 3 different items that e-Backup can save :
Outlook Express Identities
Backing up your Outlook Express Identities will make e-Backup save your
Outlook Express:

- Email accounts
- Newsgroup accounts
- Preferences
- Rules
- All folders (e.g. Inbox, Outbox, Hotmail folder, etc.)
- All email messages (including attachments) within the folder.


Internet Explorer Favorites
This will make e-Backup create a copy of all the 'url shortcuts' that are
listed in your Internet Explorer Favorites menu.

Windows Address Book
Backing up your Windows Address Book will make e-Backup create a copy of
your OE Address Book.

These will all be checked by default.  Whenever you enter a dialog for
e-backup, tab through the window to hear the available options.  This window
has a peculiarity of three extra tab stops as tabbing to get back to the
next button.   Hit enter on next to go to the next step.

In this window, if you tab once it will announce your identities.  By default all
identities in the list are checked.  Tab to the backup button and enter.

The backup will begin.  When finished it will enable and announce the close
button.

You need to press this button to close this window and return to the main
window.

I have found I have lost focus when I return from one of the dialogs to go
back to the main e-backup windows and I must alt tab back to the e-backup
window.

To restore a backup.

Before every restore: MAKE SURE THAT OUTLOOK EXPRESS IS CLOSED!
Choose 'Restore a backup'.
e-Backup will ask you which file it should restore, after you have selected
the file that you wish to restore, enter on the 'Open' button to continue.

In this window, you can specify which items you want to restore. You can
restore the same three items you backup up, identities, favorites and your
address book.  These are all checked by default.

Pressing the 'Next' button will take you to the identities window where it
will list the identity names which stored in your archive.  These will be
checked by default.

If you enter on next, in this window you have 2 options: replace the current
favorites with the favorites from the backup or add the favorites from the
backup to your current favorites.

After pressing the 'Restore' button the restore will begin.  When the
process has finished, the 'Close' button will be enabled. You need to press
this button to close this window and return to the main window.

The first time you start OE after performing a restore, you will be
presented with a list of your identities and asked which you want to start
with.

The e-backup program has excellent on line help available from the on
line help and support for e-backup function.  They go into great detail
about each step in each process.

I tested this by doing a backup, running OE and doing a send and receive in
order to be able to note a difference between what I had backed up and my
current OE.  I deleted all my entries in my address book and favorites.  I
ran the restore and everything was back to the way it was at the time of
backup.  The backup file that is created is in zip format and you can always
use a program like winzip to open the backup file and unzip the files to
find the dbx files and address book and favorites.  Of course use this program
with caution and I would only recommend doing a restore in cases where you have lost
messages or were restoring to a new machine.
