Subhead Here's what you can do with Tape-it Lite Subsub Drive letter support The tape drive is recognized as a standard device on the Windows desktop, and is assigned its own drive letter (as your hard drive is called drive C, for example). From Windows Explorer or File Manager, you can see the files you've saved on tape. Subsub Copy files directly to tape You can now copy files and directories to your tape drive: simply make your selections and drag them to the tape drive. Subsub Open files from tape Within any Windows application, you can now open files directly from tape. Subhead Here are THE EXTRA THINGS you can do with the full version of Tape-it Subsub Full and incremental backup Back up your entire hard disk by simply dragging and dropping it onto your tape drive icon. Or back up only those files that have changed since the full backup. You can also back up selected folders and files by dragging and dropping. Subsub Drag and drop file management Copy files, folders or directories by dragging and dropping them to your tape drive icon, using the left mouse button. Subsub File saving to tape Save files to tape directly from within any Windows application, using the Save As command. Subsub Fast file copying to tape Dramatically speed up tape operations by writing all your files to tape at the same time. The files are temporarily stored in a secure staging area of your hard drive before you choose to write them to tape. This enables hard-disklike performance when dragging and dropping to tape. Subsub Easy file recovery Recover a file or group of files simply by dragging the files from your tape drive back to your hard drive. Subhead System requirements Subsub Hardware and media IBM PC or compatible (386 or higher) Travan or QIC compatible floppy, parallel port, IDE or SCSI tape drive (see the drive compatibility list on the reverse for currently supported drives) 3.5" diskette drive Preformatted tape cartridge Subsub Running Windows 3.1 Hard disk with 15 MB of free space (at least 4 MB of which is uncompressed) 8 MB or more of RAM DOS 6.0 or later and Microsoft Windows 3.1 or Windows for Workgroups 3.11 MSCDEX.EXE file must be present on hard drive so that tape drive can be assigned a drive letter ASPI Manager required for SCSI tape drives Subhead Installing Tape-it Lite for Windows 3.1 Copy Note: Before installing Tape-it Lite, make sure your tape drive is connected and a new preformatted tape (or a scratch tape one you don't mind erasing) is available for use during installation. 1. Insert the Tape-it Lite diskette. 2. From the Program Manager, select Run from the File menu. 3. Type A:SETUP (or B:SETUP if the diskette is in B drive) and press ENTER. 4. Follow the on-screen installation instructions. Be sure to read the README.TXT file for important information. 5. Choose Express Setup or Custom Setup. Express Setup automatically installs Tape-it Lite. Custom Setup allows you to a) change the default directory where Tape-it Lite is installed and b) place the Tape-it Lite program icons into a different Program Group. 6. By default, Express Setup installs Tape-it Lite in the PGSoft's Tape-it Program Group; Custom Setup can install in another group of your choosing. Tape-it Lite will also be installed as an extension to the Windows File Manager application. This is where you will be able to access Tape-it Lite's menus and dialogs. 7. You must reboot your computer before being able to use Tape-it Lite, because the installation of Tape-it Lite has modified your computer's CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files. For multi-boot systems: note that Tape-it Lites installation program will not modify your CONFIG.SYS or AUTOEXEC.BAT if it detects a multi-boot configuration. However, the Tape-it Lite installation program makes a copy of your CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files, makes the necessary changes to run Tape-it Lite and names them CONFIG.PG and AUTOEXEC.PG. These files are then placed in the Tape-it Lite installation directory. 8. After rebooting, you will be asked to run the Tape-it Lite Diagnostic program to check for proper functioning of your tape drive. Insert a scratch tape into your tape drive. Start the Diagnostic program once your tape drive has stopped moving. 9. Upon successful completion of the Diagnostic, you are ready to use Tape-it Lite. Congratulations! Your tape drive has now become a drive letter, accessible from the File Manager. You can interact with your tape drive as you would with your floppy disk or hard disk. Subhead Uninstalling Tape-it Lite for Windows 3.1 Copy Follow the instructions included in the UNINSTAL.WRI file in your Tape-it Lite installation directory (the C:\PG directory, typically). Subhead Using Tape-it Lite from Imation with Windows 3.1 Subsub 1. Launching the program Copy Open the File Manager, and you will see a tape drive icon next to the tape drive letter on your File Manager drivebar. Click the tape icon to access files you may have on tape. Select the Tape menu to see the complete menu set for Tape-it Lite. Subsub 2. Erasing a tape Copy Before any tape is used with Tape-it Lite, it must first be erased by Tape-it Lite. Insert the tape into the tape drive, then select Erase Tape from the Tape menu. This gives you the opportunity to name the tape. Note: your QIC-80 tapes must be preformatted by the manufacturer before they can be erased by Tape-it Lite. Subsub 3. Copying files to tape Copy Copy files to tape using Windows File Manager. Select directories and/or files and then select Copy Directly to Tape from the Tape menu. Subsub 4. Opening files from tape Copy You can open files from tape just as you open files from your floppy disk, hard disk or CD-ROM. If you are in Windows File Manager, simply double- click on the file(s) in the drive letter assigned to your tape drive. If you are using a Windows application and wish to open a file from tape, go to your File menu, select Open, then the drive letter representing your tape drive, then the file. Note: the icon for the tape drive may appear as a CD-ROM drive or disk drive when you use the File/Open menu from a Windows application.
