Description:
PenguinBackup is a single, bootable 3.5////" floppy disk which includes a complete operating system, utilities, and communication software for all kinds of Pilots (OS 1.x - 3.x), wrapped in a nice, easy-to-use menu system.
It is intended as an emergency backup system in case you////'re on the road with only your Pilot and need to do a full restore after a hard reset.
You only need to carry the PenguinBackup floppy (and a second one holding the programs/data to restore) and can bring your Pilot back to life with almost any plain ol////' PC without the need to install anything on it (it doesn////'t even need a hard drive).
You can also use it to do full backups on the road or install new applications/DBs (e.g. store some books in Doc format on a floppy and install them one after the other to have something to read :-)
System Requirements: 386 (or higher), 4MB RAM, floppy disk drive, serial or IR port.
NOTE: The current version supports only PalmOS devices upto 2MB. This is being worked on (albeit slowly), check the message forum on the webpage for details. Also, USB (for Visor) is not (yet) supported.
