Making backup copies

It is a good idea to make copies of all your important data and program diskettes. With program diskettes, or the system master diskette supplied with your Equity I + , you should use backup copies, and keep the originals in a safe place-away from your working disks. Copy your data disks regularly (preferably daily), and keep them apart from the originals.

Your MS-DOS manual describes how to make a backup of your MS-DOS system disk. To make regular backups of other MS-DOS disks, use the DU (Disk Utility) program or the DISKCOPY command.

“Using a hard disk drive,” below, gives more information on how to back up hard disks.

Using a single floppy disk drive

Some Equity I+ systems have only one floppy disk drive. For the computer to function correctly, it needs to know how many floppy disk drives it has. DIP switches 1-7 and 1-8 tell the computer how many disk drives it has. If your computer has only one drive, set both switches on. If it has two floppy disk drives, set switch 1-7 off and switch 1-8 on.
