Back-ups for Beginners by Budget Computers 1988.
I have never found a magazine ad for this booklet, but found this copy on Ebay. It’s 26 pages of loose pages.
Check out the Table of Contents below, but trust me all of the info in this guide is very basic and was for very much the “Beginner” as the title states.
This ad was from 1985 and sold by Value-Soft in Portland Oregon.
Created by Users for Users. Take command of your software. This handbook claims to unravel the puzzle of software protection. Learn how to protect or un-protect your software. Includes a large section on successful BASIC program security. Covers the latest evolution of copy protection techniques. Also included a disk with 21 utility programs. Any have a PDF of this book or the disk? I think that this refers to the book below. Let me know if you know more about it.
CANADA A/M (Archival Maker) the ad shows 1984. I can find a Tape version and a disk version. The ads states that this software is ‘Easy on the User’ and ‘Easy on your drive”! Rated 4 stars by Info 64 and now duplicates errors 27 and
29.

ONE MORE THING, this is copied from Info-64 Spring 1984 issue:
It says that this WILL NOT COPY ITSELF!!
OK, don’t you hate that! Back in the day, I always thought that this copy program must really SUCK if it can’t even copy itself! I used that as a standard back then if I would buy it or not. Thoughts?

Removes errors while copying to recover lost data. Super Fast 8-Second Format. Quick disk scan for errors and half-tracks. Fat-Track construction kit. A true GCR editor. There is also a Drive alignment check which you need the back side of the “original disk” to use it.
