Operating Your Computer 47
Backup configuration
This copies the configuration stored in the computer memory onto
the backup copy of the Reference Diskette. If you have made
changes to the configuration, back up (copy) the configuration in the
event the backup battery is removed or replaced.
Remember, computer configuration is stored in the computer
memory and kept current by the backup battery. If the backup
battery is removed or replaced, the configuration information is lost.
Restore configuration
This retrieves the configuration copied by "Backup configuration" and
restores it into the computer memory. Use "Restore configuration"
after the backup battery is removed or replaced.
Run automatic configuration
This is used when you want the computer to automatically configure
itself. During automatic configuration, the computer makes a list of
what it sees as being installed and assigns those items to operate a
certain way.
