*Note: Remember that it’s much quicker to preformat the disks instead of letting Backup II do it. Refer to the chart at the beginning of this chapter to get an idea of how many disks to preformat.

1)Run Backup II.

2)Label one of the blank formatted disks /BU1 along with the date and insert it into the drive to which you’ll be backing up.

3)While in the main menu, press the B key on your keyboard. This selects the BACKUP FILES option.

B — BACKUP FILES

R - RESTORE FILES

Q - QUIT

PLEASE SELECT AN OPTION

4)Press "P” to select BACKUP MODIFIED FILES.

M - BACKUP MODIFIED FILES

P — BACKUP BY PATHNAME

SELECT AN OPTION OR <ESC>:

5)At the BACKUP FROM prompt, type in a slash followed by the name of your Vulcan partition. Ex:

BACKUP FROM --

(/VULCAN1

This will backup the entire contents of the partition.

6)Press <return>.

7)At the TO THE DEVICE -- prompt, type in the slot number of your floppy drive (usually “5” for 3.5” and "6" for 5.25").

8)Now type in the drive number of your floppy drive.

Warning!: If you’re booting from a RamKeeper, the 3.5” drive number will be 2. If you enter 5,1, you'll be writing to the RamKeeper

TO THE DEVICE --

(SLOT 5 DRIVE 1)

9)Press <return>.
