Creating Backup Diskettes
You can create backup diskettes for drivers and other system software products. Select the Version
Manager tab, then click the Version Manager button to create system software backup diskettes with
the InterSite Version Manager.
Version Manager lets you create backup diskettes containing drivers and other system software
products that were installed on the system before shipment, and which are not available on the
operating system CD-ROM. You may need these backup diskettes later -- for example, if you have to
reinstall a device driver or the operating system.
WARNING
You must create system software backup diskettes after you set up the system hardware and
complete the operating system Setup program. If you do not do this, you may not be able to
reinstall critical system software or the operating system if needed.
NOTE
You may not have to create backup diskettes for system software. If Version Manager does not list
drivers or other system software products, they are available on the operating system software
CD-ROM or on backup diskettes delivered with expansion boards.
If the system requires Quick-Fix Engineering (QFE) update software, it is included in the system
software available for backup diskette creation. QFE update software contains fixes for operating
system problems or limitations, and is only shipped with the system if it is needed. If QFE update
software is shipped with the system, you should create a QFE NTS backup diskette for use if you have
to reinstall the operating system.
Version Manager also lets you query Intergraph to determine the installation status of drivers and
software applications installed on your system and to download updated versions, if available. Refer
to Version Manager Help for information on installing Intergraph drivers or applications.
Creating an Emergency Repair Disk
If you did not create an Emergency Repair Disk during Setup, click the Repair Disk button on the
Repair Disk tab of the Welcome dialog to create the appropriate diskette. The files on these diskettes
can restore the original contents of a damaged Registry (that is, at the time the operating system was
installed), along with the standard operating system drivers. You should also update an Emergency
Repair Disk or a Startup diskette after you finish configuring the system.
Refer to the operating system documentation and Help for information on creating an Emergency
Repair Disk or a Startup diskette.
