System Requirements and Installation
How to install EaseBackup on your system.

System Requirements

 EaseBackup is not a resource-consuming utility. To use EaseBackup, you need:
  1. Microsoft Windows 95/98/ME or Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/2003
  2. x86 Intel or compatible
  3. 32MB RAM required
  4. Approximately 15 MB of free disk space


Installation

The installation process doesn't take much time. All you need is to run the downloaded install package and to follow the instructions. EaseBackup can be launched from "Start - Programs - KieSoft - EaseBackup" menu. If you have problems, please contact us at support@kiesoft.com.

Install package supports few command line switches:
eb.exeInstall EaseBackup
eb.exe /a:blind_conf_fileInstall EaseBackup without user intervention
eb.exe /removeUninstall EaseBackup
eb.exe /removeblindUninstall EaseBackup without user intervention

     The install package supports a blind mode (without user interaction) but you have to define some parameters. All of them must be defined in a special file. Usually we call it blind.cfg, but the name doesn't matter. To install EaseBackup in the blind mode, run the install package with the command line: /a:path_to_blind_file

     The file has a simple format:

Configuration parameters
INSTALL_FOLDER A folder to install EaseBackup to.
CREATE_ICONS Do you want to create program group icons? Use the ON value if YES and the NO if NO
LANGUAGE_FILE Name of the language file.
MAX_LOG_SIZE The maximum size of a Backup Set log file in KB.
INSTALL_OFB_DRIVER Do you want install a special driver to backup open files? Use the ON value if YES and the NO if NO
GUI_KEY Full file name for the registration key file (to perform auto-registration).

     There are few advanced parameters. Contact us if you need them.

     An example file for the blind install: 

[INSTALL]
INSTALL_FOLDER=C:\Program Files\KieSoft\EaseBackup\

# Create icons? (ON, OFF)
CREATE_ICONS=OFF

# name of language file
LANGUAGE_FILE=english.lng
