CHAPTER
6:
BACKING UP
TRSDOS-II
AND TRSDOS
2.0b
SYSTEMS
DISKETTES
Sometimes
information stored
on
diskette
is
lost.
This
problem can
result
from:
•
Wornou*
or
mishandled
disks
• Mishandled equipment
• The power
going
out while you're using the
system
That
is
why
it
is
important
to
make
"backup
11
copies
of
all
the
information
you
store
on
diskettes.
Note:
Backup
is
not
possible
under
floppy
control with
a
single
floppy
drive configuration.
References
to
floppy drives other than
drive
are
for
users
with
floppy
expansion
drives.
Backing
Up
Your TRSDOS-II System
Diskette
To copy
your
TRSDOS-II System
Diskette,
you must use
the
TRSDOS-II
BACKUP
utility.
This
utility
automatically "formats
11
(organizes) the
diskette
to
which
the information
is
to
be
copied
(''destination
11
diskette).
It
then
backs up
the
"source"
diskette
to
the
destination.
Customers
with
only
one
floppy
drive:
You
cannot
backup
the
TRSDOS-II
diskette.
Use
the
TRSDOS
2.0b
diskette instead.
Customers
with
two
or
more
floppy
drives:
Follow these
steps:
1.
Prepare
a destination diskette
by

write-protect
notch
of
a blank
