5. Remove the original diskette from drive A and insert the

blank diskette (the target) in the drive. Press any key. If the
new diskette is not formatted, DISKCOPY formats it and

then copies the contents of memory to the diskette. When

the copy is complete, you see this message:

Copy another diskette (Y/N)?

6. Press Y and 

Enter 

to copy another diskette or 

N 

and 

Enter

to return to the MS-DOS command prompt.

Use the BACKUP command to back up the data on your hard
disk. It provides a convenient and efficient way to copy the
files on your hard disk. BACKUP allows you to do the

following:

Split large files across two or more diskettes

Copy only those files that have been modified since the
most recent backup

Copy only those files that have been created (or modified)

after a specified date

Copy files in the current directory together with files in all
subdirectories of the current directory

Format diskettes while copying files.

Unlike DISKCOPY and COPY, which make readable copies of
files, BACKUP creates files that you cannot access directly. To

return files copied with the BACKUP command to their

original locations on the hard disk, you must use the

RESTORE command.
