Notes:

The archived database may be copied to a PC hard drive or CD if further storage of the database is required. Archived databases do not carry the system specific serial number. Because of this, the database may be installed on any other system with an SSC card with the same or lower software level. However, the target system must have the necessary packages, and ISM parameters.

If the PCMCIA card is inserted into the B-Drive, a LD 43, EDD may be performed. The database will be copied to the PCMCIA card just like the floppy on the large systems. However, the database will carry the system specific serial number and can only be restored to the same system.
