Partition saving 2.90

Partition Saving is a DOS program that is used to save, restore and copy hard-drive, partitions, floppy disk and DOS devices.
With this program you could save all data on a partition to a file (such as you could save this file on a CD for example). Then if something goes wrong, you can completely restore the partition from the backup file. You no longer have to reinstall every piece of software from scratch. All you have to do is restore the partition from the backup file and then update any software that was modified since the backup was created.
Note: beware of software which installs or modifies files on multiple partitions (e.g. Windows programs which update the registry or DLLs that may be on other partitions). If one partition is saved or restored, you must include others (otherwise, inconsistencies could prevent software from running).
Partition Saving is able to compress data (using the gzip compression algorithm) and split it up into several files (e.g. if you need to save a 2 Gb partition onto a CD, this can be done by compressing it and, if necessary, splitting it up into 650 Mb files). Most partition types are supported. In the case of FAT (12, 16 and 32), ext2 and NTFS partitions, you can choose between saving all sectors or in-use sectors only.
Enhancements:
- a new correction on disk detection.
- a correction on DOS drive letter attribution in case there was several
main DOS partition on the same disk.
- a new option to avoid check that created/read file is on partition
saved/restored.
- use of a new version of compiler and development environment that have better compatibility with Windows 2000 and XP.
- availability to save only occupied sectors for NTFS partitions.
- correction on free size on DOS drive when there was more than 2Gb of free space.
- compatibility between partitions of the same type (partitions that have the same filesystem are considered as compatible).
- if in batch mode, several files are needed when restoring and are on a
removable media, program asks for next media in place of generating a "file not found" error and asking for next file.
- changes into documentation and zip file structure.
- some changes into GUI
