Backup

The Retail CashBox uses very little disk space. Yet, today the floppy disk drive is not the best

way to backup your data. We suggest you buy a tape drive.

For thoes who won't take our advice ... we have included a way to run a backup to floppy disk.

This methoid relies on a program called BACKUP. The BACKUP program is included in most

versions of DOS. If you have a tape drive, you can rename BACKUP.* to BACKUPO.* then

rename your tape backup program to BACKUP.EXE or BACKUP.COM. This would make The

Service CashBox run the tape backup instead of the floppy backup.

The BACKUP program must be in a directory that is in your PATH which is set by the PATH

command in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
