SetFile Set Backup starting Þle. This is mainly used when you are backing up Þles from
a larger SCSI drive to several smaller removable media disks. Once one of the
removable destination media is full, note the last Þle that was successfully copied.
Enter the Backup function again, setting up the source and destination path
parameters exactly as before. But this time use the SetFile button to start from the
Þle after the last Þle copied.
You will notice that the Þle list displayed when SetFile is pressed is not in
alphabetical order, but in the actual order the Þles occur in the directory on the
disk:
Dir:\||||||||||||Sel:0/15||||Index:|||1|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
||Set|start|file:ZYXWVUTS|.KRZ|||||418K|
|||||||||||||||||PLANKTON|||||(dir)|||||

|Total:9040K|||||VEGGIES||.KRZ||||2801K|
||||||||Root||Parent||Open|||OK|||Cancel
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 "next" 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 drive backed up in this way can be restored by individually backing up the
removable media in the reverse direction.
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 Floppy, directories are ignored
(i.e. not created on the ßoppy.) This "ßattens" out any directory structure so that multi-disk Þles
can be created on the ßoppy disks.
File Copy
The Copy function lets you copy a single Þle from a directory on one disk to a speciÞed
directory on the destination disk.
Creating a Startup File
You can create a Macro Þle that will automatically be loaded in when you power-on your K2vx.
This Þle, called the Startup Þle, or Boot Macro, can be on a disk drive at any SCSI ID or else on
the Floppy disk. 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 SCSI or Floppy 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 K2vx when powered on. When you save the Macro Þle, just name
the Þle "BOOT", and the K2vx will add the ".MAC" extension.
