Loading the Backup Scheduler TSR

CONFIG.SYS file:
•
Buffers=30 (or more)

Compatibility Test
The Compatibility Test confirms the reliability of your system by running a
small backup and compare. You will need one formatted tape with at least
600K bytes free to run the tape drive test.
To begin the test, choose
Start Test
and follow the directions on the screen.
CAUTION:
If your computer does not pass the Compatibility Test,
your backup sets may not be reliable. Unless your computer is
configured incorrectly or not operating properly, it should pass
the test. If it doesn’t, press F1 for help.
After completing the Compatibility Test, choose
OK
to complete the
Configuration Tests and continue configuring the software.
Before Backing Up
You should reboot the computer if your CONFIG.SYS and/or
AUTOEXEC.BAT files were changed. Then type
QBACKUP
at the DOS
prompt and press
Enter
to start Ditto Tools.
If you did not allow Ditto Tools to modify your start-up files, you must
change to the QBACKUP directory, type
QBACKUP
, and press
Enter
.
