= MORE INFORMATION =

The only way to copy all of the files to floppy disks is to use a program that saves a file on multiple floppy disks. Microsoft includes Msbackup with MS-DOS versions 6.0 and later. Windows 95 includes a Backup program under Accessories, System Tools. You must use one of these utilities because all of the files will not fit on a single floppy disk.

For more information on backup and restore, see pages 26-27 of your Bob Handbook.
