Suggested Backup Schedule

If you use your computer constantly, we recommend that you use make a backup of the entire hard disk on a weekly basis and back up individual modified files daily. If you don’t use your computer that much, a bimonthly or even monthly full backup may be all you need. But always back up any important documents after creating or modifying them.

Before You Back Up

You should have plenty of disks and labels ready as well as a marker to label the backups.

*Note: Format the disks first. While Backup II will format the disks, it will run quite a bit faster and require you to answer less prompts if you format first. Backup II gives the disks its own sequence of names so it does not matter what you call them when you format.

Running Backup II

To run Backup II, double-click the Backup II icon on the finder.

You can also run the program from any other program selectors that you use. Select BACKUP II.

Once in the program, you’ll be given three options as shown below:

B — BACKUP FILES

R — RESTORE FILES

Q - QUIT

PLEASE SELECT AN OPTION

Backup Entire Hard Disk

If you use your computer heavily, you should backup your entire hard disk weekly. Light users may feel comfortable with making backups bimonthly or even monthly.
