. Choose a backup drive unit # using the "Change Logged Drive"
. option 'D'. Then backup the entire disk.
.
. To back up the entire hard disk press F3.
.
. Generally it is recommended that the entire physical hard disk
. image (i.e. all sectors) be backed up at once. This can
. be accomplished by pressing F3 and responding to the
. prompts.
.
.
. In the event that the hard disk is too large to fit on a
. single tape then it is recommended that you split the backup
. onto several tapes. Do not rely on the Image Backup program
. to span across tapes for you. Instead, tag some sectors which
. will completely fit onto a tape, keeping track of the range
. of sectors tagged, then press F5 to back up only the tagged
. sectors. Repeat with another tape, tagging the balance of the
. sectors which were not included on the first tape, press F5.

. Enter a file mask to describe the sectors you want to tag.
. This option is more appropriate for use with a file backup
. than for this image backup program.
.
. To select a range of sectors ø0000000 thru ø00F8000 enter the
. mask ?00?????.

. Enter a file mask to describe the sectors you want to untag.
. This option is more appropriate for use with a file backup
. than for this image backup program.
.
. To select a range of sectors (as might be required for a very
. large hard disk which will not fit on single tape) change to the
. root by pressing 'R' (root), then tag the desired sub-directory
. ranges. Each sub-directory contains up to 256 sector blocks of
. 2,097,152 bytes each, a total of 512 MB.

. OVERWRITE:
. If there is no useful information currently on
. the tape or you are using a new tape press
. the + key until OVERWRITE appears. If you choose
. this option all data previously stored on the tape
. will be DESTROYED. Recording will begin at the
. beginning of the tape.
.
.
.
. APPEND:
. If you want to leave the previous backup data on
. the tape choose APPEND. The tape will advance to
. the end of the current data then add the new
. backup data. This process usually takes longer
. because the tape must be fast forwarded to skip the
. the data already on the tape.

. a particular dataset if you need to restore from the
. tape. This name is optional.
