Archiving your data:
The program will create one archive file containing all of your data, and ì
place it onto a backup disk in the disk drive of your choice. To help you ì
identify the latest back up, the date is automatically formed as part of ì
the title.
Retrieving your data later:
All of your data files will be saved into one archive file and 'date ì
stamped' to help you later in determining which of the archives has the ì
most recent data.
The first two letters in the file name stand for the month, while the ì
last two identify the date during the month on which this backup was made. ì
Let's say that you see '0804ACS.ARC' on your data disk. This means month ì
'8', day '4', or August 4. If you saw '1123ACS.ARC', this file was ì
created on month '11', day '23', or December 23rd. The purpose for ì
this numbering scheme is so that you can have multiple back up files on ì
one disk, space permitting, and yet tell at a glance which is the most ì
recent one.
Later on, if you need to restore archived data, enter a command in the ì
form: ARCE 0804ACS /R <-- for the '0804ACS.ARC' file
The '/R' tells the unarchive utility to overwrite any existing data files.
Use the ARCE command on the archive file with the most current date. After ì
finishing this, make sure you delete all files ending in 'NTX' BEFORE ì
you execute ATTORNEY.EXE, if any exist.
Execute BACKUP after you have left the program:
The program will have created an external batch file, BACKUP.BAT, as you ì
exit it. You must execute this after you have left the program. The ì
computer doesn't have enough memory to execute it internally now. ì
BACKUP.BAT has all of the correct commands to backup the proper files ì
into the appropriate ARC file, but you must still execute BACKUP after you ì
have left the program.
