Tape Drive -- If you have a tape drive

connected to a PC card, you can back up to

tape. If you do this, ensure you have the

original floppy disks for the backup

programs; otherwise, you need to back up

the tape backup programs to a floppy disk.

q

MSBACKUP -- If you must back up data to

floppy disks, use the MSBACKUP program

that is part of your operating system. Be

sure to use the same version of MSBACKUP

that you plan to use when you restore the

files on the new hard disk drive. Different

versions of MSBACKUP are incompatible.
