Making Backup Copies
It is important to make copies of all your data and system
diskettes. Make backup (or working) copies of all diskettes that
contain programs, such as the original MS-DOS and Reference
diskettes that come with the Equity IIe, and use only the copies.
Store the original diskettes in a safe place away from your
working diskettes.
Copy your data diskettes regularly, whenever you revise them,
to keep them up-to-date, and store them away from your
originals.
To make backup copies of your diskettes, use the DISKCOPY
command, the MS-DOS Shell, or the MENU program. See
Chapter 4, your Shell User’s Guide, or your MS-DOS Reference
Manual for instructions.
If you have a hard disk, it is best to store the programs and data
files you use regularly on the hard disk. Keep backup copies of
all your program files on diskettes, and regularly copy important
data files to diskettes as well. See “Backing up the hard disk” in
this chapter for more information.
