Hello Amigans! :)
Nother Problem... ::sigh:: 

I have dwnlded MrBackup V5.02a.. It won't run.. It keeps GURUing with
'SoftWare Failure' and Guru Med. # 00000003.002350E8..

Here is what I've done to rule-out added Utilities causing the GURU..
  Startup-Seq: Removed NoClick, ScreenX, VirusX, Dmouse and DISmounted
  MessyDosFileSys..

The Steps I've Taken to run the Program..
  1. CLI 'Mrbackup-sw' OR Click on PREFERNCE Icon.. Will not work clicking
     on the Program Icon.. Does not find 'mrbackup.init'.
  2. Place a Blank flop in DF0: and DF1:
  3. Click on DF0: and DF1: Gadgets... (checkmark appears)
  4. Select the UTILITIES menu option..
  5. Toggle ON the 'FROM' Disk (HDisk)
  6. Requestor Window shows ROOT of DH0:.. I double Click 'c' directory
  7. Select ALL FILES gadget
  8. Hit the COMPRESSION gadget..

What happens:  
  1. Immediate GURU with above message.. 
  2. The INFO Box shows 'HDisk:c/AddBuffers'..

===========================   My System   =============================

2000 with 69010 processor..
1meg Agnus
Microbotics Ram Board with 2megs Fast
Microbotics HardFrame controller with 296N SCSI 80 meg HD.
2 - 3.5 floppy Drives.


Thats all I can think of to assist in this problem.. Sure hope someone
can help.. I would really like to backup my HDrive using Compression.. I
have EasyBackup, but it doesn't support compression, nor does it seem to
support more than one floopy drive (DF0:)...

Peace... -<-*
