199. Disc backups
     ~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is a sorry story but also a reminder. During the very hot weather,
someone was working on a Master using the DFS and WORDWISE PLUS, they loaded
a text file into Wordwise to amend and then to save the new version to a
different disc. But unfortunately when they saved the file to the new disc
it also saved the previous disc's catalogue information to the new disc
including the other disc's start of file info, resulting in two files being
split into FOUR. The person concerned unfortunately had not been keeping a
backup copy of the discs but had luckily got printed copies of his files. So
the moral is ALWAYS make backups regularly of your files or the unwanted will
happen one day. Oh, by the way, the apparent reason for this unusual event on
a Master was the heat. The Machine should normally operate at a temp. between
75 and 90 degrees F but was working at well over 100 degrees F!
