Backup

  1. Be sure there is a copy of PKZip.EXE on the hard-disk in the path.
  2. Have a stack of disks ready to go (Approx 1 per 2 megs to be backed up)
  3. Insert Disk #1
  4. Type the following command (Use lowercase letters!). pkzip a:backup.zip -& c:*.* -rp
  5. PKZip will prompt for each disk to be inserted – be sure to keep in order.

Restore

  1. Be sure there is a copy of PKUnzip.EXE on the hard-disk in the path.
  2. Insert Last disk from backup set.
  3. Log to the C: directory
  4. Type the following command (Use lowercase letters!). pkunzip -d -o a:backup.zip
  5. PKUnzip will prompt for each disk to be inserted.
