The utilities were written to support the Model B or Master 128 Internal Compact Flash Hard Drive Kit available from Mark Haysman of RetroClinic.

To back up a CF card to disc, you use :

cfbackup h c:\cf.dat

where h is the drive letter of the CF Card and c:\cf.dat is the file to store the backup.

To backup partition 1 off a two partition CF card, use :

cfbackup h c:\cf.dat 1

You can then load cf.dat into ADFS Explorer to manipulate files or use it with BeebEm to emulate the hard disc.

To restore a .dat file to your CF card, you use :

cfrestore h c:\cf.dat

where the parameters are the same as above.

To restore to partition 1 off a two partition CF card, use :

cfrestore h c:\cf.dat 1

You need to be careful with the restore since if you use cfrestore c c:\cf.dat (by mistake), you will trash your hard drive.

Full syntax :

cfbackup <drive> <file> (-Sxx) (0 or 1)
   where <drive> is drive letter of CF device
   <file> is filename for backup file
   (-Sxx) is optional image size in MB
   (0 or 1) is optional partition number to access
   e.g. cfbackup h cfback.dat 1

cfrestore <drive> <file> (-F) (0 or 1)
   where <drive> is drive letter of CF device
   <file> is filename for restore file
   (-F) is optional to restore full image
   (0 or 1) is optional partition number to access
   e.g. cfrestore h cfrestore.dat 1
