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 diskette
LI
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.
