Included on this CD-ROM is DiskFit Direct, “Essential” backup software from Dantz Development Corporation.
DiskFit Direct, also available separately as a commercial product, is designed to provide efficient, easy-to-use backup of your hard disk to floppy, SyQuest, Zip, Jaz, or magneto-optical disks.
Just copy DiskFit Direct to the hard disk you wish to back up and launch it. Incremental backups require that you insert an existing backup disk.
Note: DiskFit Direct creates a file-by-file “mirror image” backup: each time you run it, old or obsolete files are deleted from the backup set, replaced by new or changed files. This way, your backup set doesn’t grow unless your files do. We recommend that you maintain at least two backups.
Please refer to the User’s Guide, included in SimpleText format on this disk, for more information.
IN CASE OF TROUBLE
DiskFit Direct was designed to be easy-to-use and trouble-free. If you have a question about DiskFit Direct’s operation, please refer to DiskFit Direct’s online Help or to the User’s Guide included on this disk.
If you encounter an operational problem, try quitting DiskFit Direct, rebooting your Macintosh, and starting again. DiskFit Direct will resume where it left off.
If you are still unable to resolve the problem, call Dantz Development Technical Support at 510/253-3050.
PLEASE READ!
Your copy of DiskFit Direct is licensed only to you. DiskFit Direct is a commercial product. Please do not give it to others.
