Glossary:
Backup: A backup is a copy of the information on your disk which
is stored for safekeeping. This copy is used to recover
that information in case the data on your disk is
damaged.
Directory: When you put programs or data files on your disk, they
must be stored in a directory. A directory is just a
place on the disk where you store files that belong
together.
Drive: Drive is short for disk drive. A disk drive is the
part of the machine where you put in a floppy disk, or a
disk drive can refer to a fixed (hard) disk. Your
computer stores the programs or data on floppy or hard
disk(s). Each drive attached to your computer has been
assigned a logical drive letter, such as A, B, C, etc.
You need to know what letter has been assigned to each
drive in order to refer to it during backup operations.
File: A file in a directory on your computer disk holds data,
information, or programs that the computer uses for
daily operation. Many files with related information
are grouped together in a directory.
Path: A path is like a family history recorded on a family
tree. The difference is that the root of the tree is
the main directory (sometimes called a root directory)
on your computer, each branch of the tree is like each
of the directories listed in your main (or root)
directory, and the children on the family tree are
like the files that are in each directory or
subdirectory. An example of a path would be as follows:
Grandparents - parents - children - grandchildren
| | | |
root directory - directories - files and - more files and
subdirectories subdirectories
Restore: Restoring means you copy the information from your tape
back to your disk.
Size: On many of the screens you will see a column labeled
SIZE. There will be either a number here, or the
words <DIR> (for directory). The number you see is
the approximate size of your file (i.e., the number of
characters in the file).
Subdirectory: A subdirectory is a directory within a directory. It
allows you to organize files on your disk by major
groups, and then subdivide those directories into
related subgroups.
Volume: This documentation refers to each disk (floppy disk or
hard disk) as a volume.
Volume Label: A volume label is the name of the volume that you can
type in when you format your disk.
Volume Directory:
A volume directory shows a list of the files and
directories within a single volume.
