File Copy; Creating A Startup File - Kurzweil K2600 Musician's Manual

Find the last Þle copied from the previous partial backup. Set the list index to one entry past the
location of this Þle. If this Þle is already the last entry in the Þle list, the ÒnextÓ Þle to continue
the multi-part backup would be the Þle or directory that comes after the Þle list entry for the
currently viewed directory. To Þnd this Þle or directory, you will need to look in the Parent
directory.
A large SCSI hard disk backed up in this way can be restored by individually backing up the
removable media onto the SCSI hard disk.
Backup and Copy will transfer Þles much faster if you have cleared your object RAM Þrst using
the Delete Everything command (save any objects in RAM to disk Þrst).
When using the Backup function to transfer Þles from SCSI to ßoppy, directories are ignored
(that is, not created on the ßoppy). This ÒßattensÓ out any directory structure so that multi-disk
Þles can be created on the ßoppy disks.

File Copy

The Copy function lets you copy one or more Þles from one disk to a speciÞed directory on the
destination disk.
Copy is similar to Backup, with a few differences:
¥ You canÕt copy directories.
¥ The Replace or increment mode dialog does not appear. Instead, if youÕre copying a Þle that
already exists in the destination directory, the K2600 asks ÒReplace existing Þlename on
destination disk?

Creating a Startup File

You can create a macro Þle that will be automatically loaded when you power up your K2600.
This Þle, called the startup Þle, or boot macro, can be on a ßoppy disk or on a disk at any
SCSI ID. See the section on macros for background information.
The steps needed to create a Startup Þle are:
First, create a macro Þle called BOOT.MAC in the root directory of the disk that you will use as
the Startup disk. Specify in the macro the exact ordering of Þles that you would like to have
loaded into the K2600 when powered on. When you save the macro Þle, just name the Þle
BOOT, and the K2600 will add the .MAC extension.
Second, set the Startup parameter on the Disk-mode page to be the Disk ID of the Startup disk.
So, if your BOOT.MAC Þle was on a ßoppy disk, set the Startup parameter to Floppy and make
sure that you have the correct ßoppy in the drive when you next turn the K2600 on.
