CHAPTER 6: BACKING UP TRSDOS-II
AND TRSDOS 2.0b SYSTEMS
DISKETTES
Sometimes information stored
on
diskette
is
lost. This problem can
result from:
• Worn-out or mishandled disks
• Mishandled equipment
• The power going out while you're using the system
That
is
why it
is
imoortant
to
make
"backup"
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 0 are for users with floppy expansion drives
Backing Up Your TRSDOS-II System Diskette

copy
your TRSDOS-II System Diskette, you must use the
TRSDOS-II BACKUP utility This utility automatically "formats"
(organizes) the diskette
to
which the information
is
to be copied
C'destination" 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
Prepare a destination diskette by covering the write-protect
notch of a blank diskette with a write-enable tab.
