#How to backup Par?

Is there a trick to backing up the Par drives. We have a WangDat scsi tape drive and use arcsolo as our backup program, but when I go to back up the par drive, it only shows the first project on the drive, and only indicates it is backing up .tga files (perhaps only the first frame from each animation). In the Par manual, it says to go to prefs and make sure the par is in native Par format, but this button is not in the 1.5 par software, and I can't seem to find any info on it. Could someone offer me some advice in this matter? Doug

Tolek, At the DOS command line in your PAR directory type PARDRV /P and this will put the PAR into its native mode, also in the PAR application if you leave the EXPORT MODE set to PAR not TGA you will exit the software in the native mode. -Mike

Thanks Mike, I guess I should have realized about the export mode, I just wasn't thinking!! Thanks a lot. Doug Glasgow Georgia Tech Lab OP
