paper backup

Post by srvaldez »

while at the OllyDbg site http://www.ollydbg.de/ I saw this link for PaperBack http://www.ollydbg.de/Paperbak/index.html
at first I thought that it would be a book as in paperback book but it's software to make back up on paper as bitmaps, interesting
[edit]
it took like a dozen tries with different settings but it works! :-)

Interesting. The paper backup was also recently discussed in 'squares', but the possibilities overestimated by a factor 10,000 by a certain forum member.

Commercial DMS's do it that way, too (document management systems).
It is a accepted way (by govenments) for companys long term 'paperwork' storage.
Typically on optical media (less prone to change as magnetic media).
Scan the originals single or double sided then save it as *.jpg files (unmodifiable w/o leaving a trace).

Funny stuff :)

By the way I played half a summer with Ollydbg (years ago), trying to figure out how the score system in Restaurant Empire worked up. I failed for the most part, but it was a very interesting to play with this disassembler.
