TOPIC



    My Macintosh Performa computer came with a backup CD with all the software already on it. Do I still have to run Apple Backup to copy my software to floppy disks?

DISCUSSION


    Everything that came pre-loaded on your Performa computer is included on the Macintosh Performa CD. It is not necessary for you to run the Apple Backup program to back up your pre-loaded software. However, you should still back up your personal files and any other software you add later. This can be done by simply copying files to disks or if they are too large to fit in 1.44 MB segments, use a third party backup utility to backup only designated or modified files.

    If at some time you remove software from your computer, you will need to run the Apple Restore program and restore the software. The Apple Restore program includes options for restoring just your System software or all the extra software that came pre-loaded on your hard drive. This will restore all the programs, but will replace them so that there are no duplicate copies on your hard drive. You will not lose any personal files.

    Computers that include the Performa Backup CD are:

    Macintosh Performa 550 (later versions)
    Macintosh Performa 575, 577, 578
