You can use File Manager to copy and delete backup objects in a similar
fashion to normal calculator objects. In addition, there are specific
commands for manipulating backup objects.
Backing up and restoring HOME
You can back up and restore the contents of the entire HOME directory in
a backup object. This includes all variables, and any key assignments and
alanus that you have created.
Backing up
To backup the HOME directory in RPN mode, enter the following;
:Port_Number: Backup_Name ARCHIVE
To backup the HOME directory in algebraic mode, enter the following:
ARCHIVE ( ; Port^^Number : Backup_Name)
Restoring
To restore the HOME directory in RPN mode, enter the following:
:Port_Number: Backup_Name RESTORE
For example, to backup the home directory as MYHOME in port 2, use the
following command in algebraic mode:
ARCHIVE{:2: MYHOME)
To restore the HOME directory in algebraic mode, enter the following:
RESTORE(:Port_Number:Backup_Name)
To restore the HOME directory backup from the previous example, use
the following conunand:
RESTORE(:2:MYHOME)
Wlien you restore a HOME directoiy backup, the backup
directory overwrites the current HOME director)/- and its
contents. Any data not backed up is lost.
After you restore a HOME directory, the calculator restarts. The
contents of historj' or the stack is lost.
