and its switches, see BACKUP in the MS-DOS
Quick Reference manual.
RESTORING BACKUPS
TO YOUR HARD DISK
Use the RESTORE command to copy one or more
backed up directories from diskette to hard disk.
Use RESTORE only for those directories that were
copied to diskette with the BACKUP command.
To restore the directory Mystuff from the diskette in
Drive A back to the hard disk (Drive C), type:
r e s t o r e
a :
\mystuff \ c
:
/ S
ENTER
To restore all the files that were backed up from all
directories of Drive C, insert the first backup disk-
ette into Drive A and type:
r e s t o r e a:
c :
/sENTER
The /s switch instructs MS-DOS to copy all files
and directories that were saved on diskettes with
the BACKUP command. If the backup required
more than one diskette, MS-DOS prompts you to
change diskettes during the restore procedure.
For more information on RESTORE and its options,
see the MS-DOS Quick Reference manual.
Caution: The HDD indicator lights whenever the
computer accesses the hard disk. Do not turn off
the computer when the HDD indication is on. The
data on the hard disk can be lost or distorted.

Diskettes have a special safety feature that pro-
tects recorded information from being altered. This
special feature is a write-protect window.
To write-protect your diskette, slide the cover up to
open the write-protect window.
To be able to edit and store information on your
diskette, close the write-protect window.
