I understand that Apple has a backup program, called, appropriately
enough, "Backup 1.1".  There is also a "Backup 1.1.1" version, which you
should use if you are using versions of Prodos 8 1.3 and higher.

I also believe (no guarantees on this) that your dealer is supposed to
give you a free ROM upgrade for your Apple SCSI card to (1) enable you to
use the Apple SC CD-ROM (how perceptive of them to think that you might use
the interface for such an item), and (2) to prevent your Apple SCSI
drive from being accidentally reformatted by a sloppy program making
Smartport calls and assuming that your hard disk is a 3.5" floppy.

You can see the wise-and-wonderful Open-Apple magazine for details on
this little "bugger".
