2 How to Back up and Recover the System

2.1 Objective

This document describes how to back up and recover the system.

2.2 Technical Description

There are two system backup methods as follow:
The recovery method required depends on the way the system crashes.

Backup method

A) Backup using floppy disks
B) Backup using a hard drive
2.3 Backup Method
A) Backup method using floppy disks
The network settings configured in each installation site and the customized body part
settings are stored in each ini file.
All the ini files are stored on a floppy disk when starting up the control PC.
The system has a feature that stores the latest ini files on the floppy disk at the system
startup by updating the ini files with modifications users made while using the system.
B) Backup method using a hard drive
The control PC has no feature that mirrors all the files including the OS to other hard drives.
Therefore, to be ready for hard drive crashes, we recommend that you add another hard
drive when installing the system, in order to copy the software between the hard drives
using Ghost or Drive Copy, which are available on the market.
This should be conducted at the final installation stage (just before delivery to users).
As an alternative, you can also provide a hard drive that contains the OS (before activation)
and drivers in case of hard drive crashes.
