A floppy labeled ND-211226A exists in a friend's recently-imaged batch, but its label was overwritten with "GAMES" and its contents match that, not this product — do not use it. See research/FLOPPY-BACKLOG-2026-08.md. The floppies used for this entry are a separate, verified 211226B02 set from the Gandalf library.

Description

A screen-oriented backup-scheduling/automation tool — "Screenshots of backup manager interface" per the PI sheet's own cover image. Ships as an installer plus four ND-500 domains (BM-OPERATOR, BM-DEFINITION, BM-SCHEDULER, BM-FILERESTORE) and a background scheduler server process (BMSERV). Optionally integrates with SIBAS/R — its own job database (BM-JOBDB-B02:DATA) can be stored in SIBAS, via a link-time choice between two NRF modules (BM-OSIBAS-B02:NRF with SIBAS, BM-SIBDUM-B02:NRF a dummy stub without it).
