command/BACKUP command/BACKUP NAME BACKUP -- Copies all the files on a disk to another disk ABBREVIATION b <shift> A SYNOPSIS BACKUP D<src_drive> TO D<trg_drive>[,ON U<unit>] FUNCTION This command copies all the files on a disk to another disk on a dual drive system. You can copy onto a new disk without first using the HEADER command to format the new disk because the BACKUP command copies all the information on the disk, including the format. You should always BACKUP important disks in case the original is lost or damaged. Because the BACKUP command also HEADERS disks, it destroys any information on the disk onto which you're copying information. So if you're backing up onto a previously used disk, make sure it contains no programs you wish to keep. INPUTS <src_drive> - source drive number <trg_drive> - target drive number <unit> - target drive unit number RESULT The contents of the source disk is copied to the target disk. EXAMPLES BACKUP D0 TO D1 Copies all files from the disk in drive 0 to the disk in drive 1. BACKUP DO TO D1, ON U9 Copies all files from drive 0 to drive 1 in disk drive unit 9. NOTES This command can only be used with dual disk drive. BUGS - SEE ALSO COPY HEADER
