Backup System Data and Disk Files
Page 144 MDE-4315 CFN Series CFN III Manager’s Manual for Windows NT · August 2004
You should always make a backup copy of the release disk and any other
diskettes that are shipped to you. You should also make a backup copy of
FRAMOS.CFG every time you change the configuration, and you should make
backup copies of any command files or other important files you create.
Floppy Diskettes
Gasboy recommends that you make backups on double-sided, high-density, 3.5-
inch floppy diskettes. Format the diskette before use if you did not purchase pre-
formatted diskettes. Pre-formatted diskettes are readily available and will save
you the time of formatting. BACKUP requires blank, formatted diskettes.
The Back-up Files
The command files for backing up system data are:
All these files are in the C:\SC3\BIN directory.
The batch files used to backup your CFN3 files are:
File Description
