Suggested Backup Schedule

If you use your computer constantly, we recommend that you
use make a backup of the entire hard disk on a weekly basis and
back up individual modified files daily. If you don't use your
computer that much, a bimonthly or even monthly full backup
may be all you need. But always back up any important
documents after creating or modifying them.

Before You Back Up

You should have plenty of disks and labels ready as well as a
marker to label the backups.

Running Backup II

You can also run the program from any other program selectors
that you use. Select BACKUP II.
Once in the program, you'll be given three options as shown
below:

Backup Entire Hard Disk

If you use your computer heavily, you should backup your
entire hard disk weekly. Light users may feel comfortable with
making backups bimonthly or even monthly.
To backup the entire contents of the Vulcan, follow these steps:
36 Vulcan
Note: Format the disks first. While Backup II will
format the disks, it will run quite a bit faster and require
you to answer less prompts if you format first. Backup II
gives the disks its own sequence of names so it does not
matter what you call them when you format.
B — BACKUP FILES
R — RESTORE FILES
Q - QUIT
