• The option labeled Span Disks (in the Back Up Options section) allows you to
use multiple disks (for example, if you'll be using floppy disks for back up). Check
this option if you think your restoration information will take up more than one
disk.
WARNING: If you check the option labeled Span Disks, the
option Erase Disks Before Writing becomes accessible (and is
checked by default). If this option is checked, any removable disk you
insert to use as backup media will be completely erased prior to the
back up process. This does not apply to hard disks.
4. Click the BackUp button. A window titled Back Up Data Files to… will appear.
(
Note: The PCCharge backup function defaults to saving the information
to floppy disk(s). Make sure the disk(s) you use do not contain important
information or are already formatted. If you are back up your information to
removable media (floppy disks, Zip disks, etc.), PCCharge WILL ERASE
the contents of the volume(s). If you are backing up to a hard drive,
PCCharge WILL NOT ERASE the contents of the selected volume.
5. Browse to the location of the backup media you wish to use. Click the Open button to
initiate the backup process. PCCharge will begin to pack your restoration information
into a file named BACKUPID.ZIP (by default). You may be prompted to insert
additional disks to contain any data that will not fit on the previous volume. Once the
backup process has completed, store your restoration information in a safe place.

3. If you uncheck the option labeled Prompt to Overwrite Files, PCCharge will
overwrite any files in your PCCharge directory with whatever is contained within your
restoration information.
