Backing up your files
Making backup copies of important files is good protection against possible
damage to the originals.
Backing up and restoring system software and preinstalled programs
m You can make a set of backup floppy disks for the core system software on
your hard disk by using the Floppy Disk Maker application program. This
program and the disk image files it uses are in the System Backup folder,
inside the Apple Extras folder on your hard disk. Instructions for using
Floppy Disk Maker are in Appendix D.
m The CD-ROM disc that came with your computer contains disk images of
the complete system software and all application programs that were
preinstalled on your computer’s hard disk. You can make backup floppy
disks from these images using the Floppy Disk Maker application program.
(See Appendix D for instructions on making backup floppy disks.)
m If the System Folder on your hard disk is damaged, you can reinstall that
essential software from disk images on the hard disk or on the CD that
came with your computer. See “Reinstalling the Mac OS System Software”
in Chapter 7 for instructions.
m The CD that came with your computer also contains a program for
restoring the complete system software and all preinstalled application
programs from the disk images on the CD. See the document
“CD – Important Information” on the CD for instructions.
