Backing up your hard disk
To back up your hard disk, follow the steps in this section. (If you
normally use another method of backing up your files, such as copying
them to another hard disk or to a tape cartridge, you can use that
method instead.)
1. Turn on your Macintosh LC computer.
If your computer is already on, quit any programs you might be
running.
2. Insert a blank 3.5-inch floppy disk into the built-in disk drive.
If you see a message asking if you want to initialize the disk, click
Initialize. (If you’re using an 800K disk, click Double-Sided.)
3. Copy your files and folders to the floppy disk.
Drag each icon from your hard disk to the floppy disk’s icon until you
get a message that the floppy disk is full. Then eject the floppy disk
and repeat the procedure until you’ve backed up all the files you want
to save.
Some folders may be too big to fit on floppy disks. If so, you can
open the folder and drag its contents one icon at a time to the floppy
disk icon.
For more information about copying files and folders, see the books
that came with your Macintosh.
4. Label the disks so you can remember what’s on them.
