A STACKER drive may be backed up like any other DOS drive. If files reside
|
|
on STACKER drive C:, back up the files on drive C:. As your back up
|
|
software reads data from the STACKER drive, STACKER transparently
|
|
decompresses the data. The back up program will then write the data to tape
|
|
or diskette and recompress it (if it supports data compression). These
|
|
files may then be restored to any system in their original form.
|
|
|
|
Q: What about backing up the files on the uncompressed host drive?
|
|
A: In order to perform a full system back up, back up files on the host drive
|
|
as well as the STACKER drive. You do not need to backup the hidden
|
|
STACVOL file. This is essentially backed up when the files on the STACKER
|
|
drive are backed up.
|
|
|
|
Q: How do I restore my system in the event of a hard disk crash ?
|
|
A: After reformatting and installing DOS, install STACKER to create the
|
|
compressed drives. Then, restore from the backup.
