AST Advantage! 6033s  (250-0403)   Making a backup     Faxback Doc. # 16308
                                    of ASTWorks

1.  At the AST 6033SX backup prompt, press <enter>.  The system indicates a
    backup of system files has been written to the hard disk (Guru Recovery
    Disk).

2.  Another prompt comes up to backup to floppy.  Pressing <enter> brings
    up the prompt to insert a Hi-Cap disk (press <enter>).

3.  The system formats the disk, and copies the system files.  Once this is
    done, normal system startup will continue.

4.  At the Windows Main Desktop, an overlay box indicates "Make your Disks
    Now".  Click on OK.

5.  An AST Disk Utility Menu comes up:

    MicroSoft Windows 3.11 (6 disks)
    AST Technical Support Guru Recovery
    Cirrus 5424 Video Drivers v. 1.43
    Logitech Mouse Driver v.6.12
    MSDOS 6.22 Install (4 disks)
    Video for Windows Runtime v.1.1 (2 disks)
    Spinnaker PFS:Windows Works v.2.02 (3 disks)

6.  Once the backups are complete, the system exits you to Windows.

7.  A second backup screen comes up that is the Backup AST Works.  This is
    to make disks for non-AST Works programs such as Windows.  It uses the
    AST Disk Utility Backup:

    Programs              8 disks
    Greetings             9 disks
    Getting Started       5 disks
    Ask AST               1 disk
    Clip Art and Pictures 10 disks
                          33 disks total

8.  After clicking on OK, you will be prompted to configure Microsoft
    Backup (disk configuring/comparing).

9.  The next backup screen is for MS Backup-ASTWORK1.SET.  This will create
    30 backup disks labelled CC50111A.001-CC50111A.030.

10.  Upon completion and exiting, the system restarts into Windows.

NOTES:  The ASTDU directory is not backed up during this procedure.  If
        this directory is not backed up, the AST Master Disk program will
        not run if this directory is not re-installed to the hard drive.
        You may use MSBACKUP to safely copy and restore this directory.

        The following files need to be copied from your C:\WINDOWS
        directory for your system to be properly restored to factor
        condition:

        VGALOGO.RLE      44,792 bytes
        ASTADVAN.BMP     77,827 bytes
