1. Make sure that you commit any volume changes (adding, deleting or reconfiguring a volume) before you reboot.
2. Always select SHUTDOWN from the NetMAX main menu to power down the NetMAX.
3. Perform regular backups as described in "Introduction to File Backup and Restoration" in the online help.
4. If you only have one hard disk for your NetMAX, you will also need to regularly backup your NetMAX configuration to floppy as described in "Backing Up Your NetMAX Configuration" in the online help. If you have more than one hard disk attached to your NetMAX, this configuration is automatically saved to your non-system disks each time you commit.
5. For the safest way to maintain your data, create mirrored volumes. These will maximize the chances that you will be able to continue using your NetMAX normally if one hard disk crashes.
