The Backup Utility Main Menu Options
Backup
Before you can use the Backup option you must first tell the Backup Utility which type of Data Files you
wish to Backup and also the Start Date and End Date of the period in which you wish to carry out the
Backup.
When you have done that and then selected the Backup option the system will check which files are going
to need to be copied, and will tell you how many disks you are going need.
Note: The disks that you use must be 1.44 Megabyte Hi-density disks, and they must be
formatted. You can either buy the disks and format them yourself if you have access to a
PC, or you can buy ready formatted disks. The disks must be blank—that is, containing
no previous data or files.
You will be prompted to enter each disk as they are required.
The data files are put onto the disks in sub-directories, called BACK001 on the first disk, BACK002 on
the next, and so on, for as many disks as it takes. You should label and date each disk as you remove it
from the disk drive.

Delete
Before you can use the Delete option you must first tell the Backup Utility which type of Data Files you
wish to delete and also the Start Date and End Date of the period you wish to delete files in.
When you have done that and then selected the Delete option the system will check which files are going
to be deleted, and will tell you how much disk space you will recover by deleting them.
Note: Make sure you are CERTAIN that you wish to delete the files before you do so - once they
have been removed, if you haven’t already made Backups of them, they will be gone
forever!
Help
This option leads to a further menu offering access to Help screens on the Help system itself, the use of
the Backup Utility menus and the use of the mouse.
Set File
Before you can use the Backup or Delete options, you must first tell the Backup Utility which type of
Data Files you wish to work with, and also the Start Date and End Date of the period in which you wish
to carry out the Backup or Delete operation.
If you select this option, you will be presented with a “popup menu”. On the menu will be the file types
you can choose from. There is also an option labeled
A l l D a t a F i l e s
which will cause the
Backup or Delete operation to work with all files of all types, and there is an option labeled
A l l ( N o t
H o u r l y )
.
Note: Many users wish to set a Start date and an End Date and to then Backup all of the files
from that period apart from the hourly ones, but wish to Delete all of the files in that
period once the Backup is completed. The All data Files and the All (Not Hourly) options
allow you to do this easily.
