6

Click the name of a disk image; then click Open.

In a few moments a message appears near the top of the window, indicating
that the disk image has been loaded.

7

Click Make A Copy.

8

When you see a message telling you to insert a disk, insert a floppy disk.

If the disk already contains information, you’re asked whether you want to
replace the contents of the disk. Click Duplicate if you want to erase the
information on the disk and replace it with a copy of system software.
Otherwise, eject the disk and insert a different disk.

9

When you see a message telling you that the disk was duplicated successfully, click

Load Image File to copy another disk image or click Quit to leave the program.

The program ejects the disk when it has copied the image.

10

Repeat steps 6 through 9 for each disk image until you have copied all the disk image files.

Store the backup disks in a safe place.

Note: It’s a good idea to label the disks exactly as they are named by the Disk
Copy program. That way, if you need to start up from a floppy disk and
reinstall system software, you can easily follow the directions in “Starting Up
From a Floppy Drive,” earlier in this chapter.

What to do if your server’s performance decreases

If you notice a decrease in your server’s speed and general performance after
adding special software (a control panel, a system extension, or a custom
utility), it may be because your special software does not work well with
Power Macintosh computers.

To see if this is the problem, use the Extensions Manager control panel to turn
off individual programs and extensions, one at a time, and then restart the
server. (For information on using the Extensions Manager control panel, see
the “Setting Options” topic of Macintosh Guide, available in the Guide menu.)
If the computer performs better when a special program or extension is
removed, contact the software’s manufacturer for information or an upgrade.
