Preparing for communications

Complete information on the backup program is in the online Help and your Windows® documentation.

HINT: Backing up all the files on your hard disk takes a considerable amount of time and many diskettes. You may prefer to use a high-capacity backup system, such as an external tape drive.

Restoring your work

To restore information from your backup media to your hard disk, use the Restore page in the backup program. Look in the online Help or your operating system documentation for information on restoring files.

TECHNICAL NOTE: When restoring files, the backup program prompts you if you try to overwrite a file that already exists on the hard disk. Make sure the backup version is the one you want before overwriting the existing file.
