- 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.
