Backing Up Your Files
Be sure to back up your files regularly. For large amounts of data,
you might want to consider a portable tape backup unit. Make
copies of all your system and applicatioon program diskettes before
copying the programs to the hard disk.
Your computer comes with video drivers and utilities already
installed on the hard disk. To protect these these important files, you
should back them up before you begin using your system. The
files are located in two directories, C:\WINDOWS\VGAUTIL
and C:\VGAUTIL.
Your can back up these directories using either the Windows File
Manager or the MS-DOS XCOPY command.
See your MS-DOS or Windows documentation f o r m o r e
information about copying files and directories. See page 2-10 for
more information about using the video utilites and drivers.
Using the Password Function
The ActionNote provides password security for the entire system
or only the Setup program. This allows you to safeguard all your
data or only your Setup configuration. The passward function is
optional and you do not have to set a password if you don't wantdon’twant
You use the Setup program to first enable or disable a password
and then define it. (See Chapter 5 for instructions.)
If you enable the power-on password, you must enter it each time
you turn on or reset your computer. (Resetting the computer is
described later in this chapter.) The computer prompts you for the
password after it completes its power-on diagnostics.
