Making a Backup of a Floppy

[Piru]

The only problem with diskcopy is that it doesn't create identical copy: The volume creation date is modified.

Usually this is no problem, but I prefer 100% copies for backup purposes.

The CLI expression for a single drive is... copy df0: df0:
or to be pedantic... copy from df0: to df0:

The system will request the 'From' disk, copy it and the ask for the 'To' disk.

That's incorrect. You can't copy files from df0: to df0: like that. In fact you'll try to overwrite the source files by the files themselves (luckily it can't do anything nasty as the files can't be overwritten since they're read from...).

You must specify the source and destination volumes by name. Example:

Code: [Select]

copy Workbench3.1: MyDisk: all clone

I think the diskcopy command is... diskcopy df0:
It then requests the From and To disks and produces a clone if I remember right.

It's

Code: [Select]

diskcopy df0: df0:

If you're going to give advice, please at least make sure your examples are correct. Thank you.
