Protecting
Diskettes From Unauthorized Changes
VECTOR " USER1S MANUAL
DISKETTES
To
keep
information from being changed on an important diskette (such as the
system backup diskette), use the
write-protect
tabs
included
in
each
box
of
new
diskettes.
If
you
attach
a
tab
over
the
write-protect
cutout
on a
5-1/4-inch diskette, the disk drive will not allow you
to
erase
or
change
any
information on the diskette. The tab
may
be removed
later,
if
required.
It
is a good idea
to
place one of
these
tabs
on
the'system
diskette
before
working with
it,
if
not already attached.
You
can also use the
STAT
command
to
protect
a diskette
or
individual
files
on
the
diskette
from
change
or
erasure.
See the instructions for the
STAT
command, in the
TRANSIENT
COMMANDS'
section of this manual.
