Procedure 4
Performing an ABKO (save the database to floppies)
1
Insert floppy diskettes into BOTH floppy disk drives in each Core IODU/C
or MMDU.
Note: If the file is too large to fit on a single floppy disk, the ABKO
command will compress the data. If the compressed data is still too large
to fit on a single disk, both floppy disks in the two IODU/C drives will be
used. Be sure to insert floppy disks into BOTH IODU/C drives before the
ABKO backup is begun.
