• Monthly Save Set - A set of save diskettes that contains
everything
on
your hard disks, including your programs. Make
this set
on
the first day of each month. Always keep a
previous month's save set and a current month's save set.
• Daily Save Set - A set of save diskettes that contains files
that were created or changed since the current monthly save
set was made. Make this set at the end of each day. Always
keep a previous daily save set and a current daily save set.
If you enter large amounts of data every day, you might want to
make more than one "daily" save set each day. No matter how
much data you enter, however, never wait longer than three
days
before making a daily save set.
Note: The examples
in
this section use Drive 4 (hard disk) as the
source and Drive
III
as the destination. This
is
because SAVE and
RESTORE
are intended for hard disk use However,
SAVE
and
RESTORE
can also be used
to
save files from a
TRSDOS~II
formatted floppy diskette
to
a
SAVE
formatted diskette
When using
SAVE
and
RESTORE
between two floppy diskettes, be
sure:
• the source and destination drive numbers are different
• the destination drive
is
not Drive
Ill;
Drive
III
must contain a
TRSDOS-II system diskette
Note: Neither
SAVE
nor
RESTORE
is
possible under floppy control
with a single floppy drive configuration. References to floppy
drives other than
III
are for users with floppy expansion drives.
Creating a Monthly Save Set
Creating a monthly save set takes time, but it's worth
it.
Have
several blank, unformatted diskettes ready.
To
save all the files (including system files) and programs from
hard disk Drive 4
to
a floppy diskette
in
Drive
Ill,
insert a floppy
diskette Into Drive
0.
At TRSDOS-II Ready, type:
SAVE
4 :0 {SYS,ALL,ABS}
(ENTER)
TRSDOS-II displays a "volume number" which identifies the
diskette
in
Drive
Ill.
A "dataset signature" identifies the set of
diskettes. Write down the volume number and dataset signature.
When you later remove the diskette from the drive, write this
information
on
the diskette's label.
When the diskette
is
full, TRSDOS-II prompts you to insert another
diskette. When all the files are saved, TRSDOS-II prompts you to
reinsert the first diskette of the set (Volume
Ill).
It
then updates the
diskette with housekeeping information.
TRSDOS-II Ready appears when the
SAVE
is
finished. Make sure
you have labeled all the save diskettes. Store them
in
a safe place.
At the beginning of the next month, create a new monthly save set
using a different set of diskettes_ This set becomes the "current
monthly save set." The other set becomes the "previous monthly
save set."
