===HowTo: Do Weekly and Full System BackUps===
:It is possible under some circumstances that the hard disk may crash.  Therefore a regular copy should be made of the UCT database for data security.  
:In other words, a backup should be performed each week of the system’s data for that week and each month a full backup of the system should be made.  The following describes the process to do this.
    
:* There are two special backup tapes that are used alternately for both weekly and full backups, labeled BCKP0A and BCKP0B.  
:*The BCKP stands for backup and the A and B are the tape identifiers. 
:*The reason for using two tapes is to ensure that older data is not overwritten.

:To perform weekly backup:
:*	On Friday afternoon, insert into the tape device, the special backup tape opposite from the one used the previous week (ie. use Tape A, if Tape B was used the week before).  To determine this, check on the Weekly Backup schedule sheet.
:*	Open up the UCT_BACKUP tool, shown in the Figure above.:*•	Under the heading “Disk Information�? and “Tape:�? click on Mount.
:*	When “Tape: mounted as BCKP0_�? appears under “Disk Information�?, click on Weekly Backup at the bottom of the window.  A message will appear inquiring if the special tape for backup is inserted in the device, and click on Yes.
