I really appreciate all of the feedback I am getting in terms of being able to get this thing backed up. Just a quick update on some new info I found in a box packed away by my father.

I as able to locate the original SCO 5.0.6 install CD's AND License Certificate / Code
Also found 3 floppies labeled root, boot, and file system.

I also found the BASIS License Agreement and Product Key, it is the Pro 5, not FlexLM license. I even found a copy of the BASIS compiler software. Unfortunately it was on a 6"cassette type storage tape.

My application is not copy protected, but the BASIS compiler that is required to run it is copy protected and we think it is tied to the HD. However, since I now have the license, I may be able to get BASIS to let me activate it if there is a problem when I copy it to another HD.

This all may be much ado about nothing as I may be able to simply clone the HD with Clonezilla and set it aside, keep my data backup current, and if the drive ever fails, put in the new drive and copy the data to it. At least I have options now.

Again, I really appreciate all the feedback, I am learning slowly, and any additional insight, info, or guidance is appreciated.
