[Dx4win] back up log

[Les Kalmus]

Phil,

You should find Windows Explorer under Accessories on the Start menu.
Open Windows Explorer and navigate as follows by left clicking on each 
of these in the left window:
My Computer
Local Disk C:
Program files
DX4W703 (or whichever version you are using)
Save

Hold down the Ctrl key and in the right window and left click on
w3gt.dxl and DX4WIN.cty

Now right click on either of these two files and you should get a drop 
down menu that includes "Copy"
Left click on "Copy"

Now go to the left window and you should see either your floppy drive 
(A:) if you have one or a CD or DVD drive (probably D:).
Right click on the one you want to use.
You will get a drop down menu that includes "Paste".
Left click on "Paste".
Insert a disk and you should be OK.
If the "Paste" option is greyed out, go back to the Save folder 
instruction above and carefully repeat this procedure from there.

You will have backed up your country file and qso file to the disk you 
chose which is all you need in case of a problem.
Do this periodically on a regular schedule to be safe.

73, Les
