Using Disk Drives
2-20
q Tape Drive -- If you have a tape drive
connected to a PC card, you can back up to
tape. If you do this, ensure you have the
original floppy disks for the backup
programs; otherwise, you need to back up
the tape backup programs to a floppy disk.
q MSBACKUP -- If you must back up data to
floppy disks, use the MSBACKUP program
that is part of your operating system. Be
sure to use the same version of MSBACKUP
that you plan to use when you restore the
files on the new hard disk drive. Different
versions of MSBACKUP are incompatible.
