Apple Macintosh 6500 - Manual (Page 69)

Follow these tips for making backup copies of the documents on your
computer:
m Regularly make copies of the documents you create.
m You can back up files stored on your hard disk by copying them to
floppy disks.
m You can back up an entire floppy disk by copying it to another floppy disk
of the same capacity or larger, or by copying it to a hard disk.
m If you need to copy a file onto a floppy disk and it is too large to fit onto a
single floppy disk, you can use a commercial backup application to copy
the file onto multiple floppy disks.
m You can use a commercial backup application to copy new and changed
files from a hard disk to another hard disk, to a tape drive, or to a series of
floppy disks.
m If your computer is on a network, you may be able to back up files by
copying them to a shared disk on the network.
Tip: A good way to remember where you have stored documents is to print a
summary of the items you’ve stored in a folder. For instructions on printing
the contents of a folder, see the “Printing” topic area of Macintosh Guide (or
Mac OS Guide), available in the Guide (h) menu.
Using Power Macintosh application programs
Your Power Macintosh is compatible with most application programs
intended for use with Macintosh computers, but certain applications are
designed especially for Power Macintosh computers. These applications are
sometimes called “native” applications and they take best advantage of your
computer’s speed.
