- 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.
