Copying Data

It is very important to keep backup diskettes containing copies of the files you create. There are several ways to copy data and program files:

CI Use the DISKCOPY command to make an exact duplicate of a disketteLI Use the COPY command to copy individual files

Ll Use the BACKUP command to back up the files on a hard disk or diskette in a special format.

The COPY command is easier to use when you have only a few files to back up. The BACKUP command has some advantages when you want to back up many files at once.
