Copy your data diskettes regularly (preferably every day, or
every few hours if you’re creating a lot of data) to keep your
backup data current, then store the backup copies away from
your originals.
Chapter 1 describes how to use DISKCOPY to copy your
MS-DOS system diskettes. To make backups of other MS-DOS
diskettes, use the DISKCOPY command or the DU (Disk
Utility) program. See your MS-DOS reference manual for
instructions on using DISKCOPY and DU.
If you are using an Apex Plus 20, it’s best to put most of 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. For
more information, see “Copying Data” in Chapter 3 and refer to
your MS-DOS reference manual.
Using Your Hard Disk
The Apex Plus 20 system includes an internal 20 MB hard disk.
Here are some precautions to take when using a hard disk
system:
Never attempt to open the hard disk drive. The disk
itself is enclosed in an airtight container to protect it
from dust.
If you are going to move your computer (even to
another part of the room), run the program called
HDSIT to prepare the hard disk for moving. See
“Preparing the hard disk for moving” in this chapter for
more information.
Working with a hard disk is very similar to working with a
diskette. MS-DOS treats files on a hard disk just like files on a
diskette. However, the hard disk provides several advantages:
