The BACKUP command can perform incremental backups.

That is, you can copy only those files that changed since

the last time you used the BACKUP command. This also

results in more efficient diskette use.

The BACKUP command can format new diskettes as it

copies files. You don’t have to go through a separate

formatting step when you use BACKUP.

Unlike DISKCOPY and COPY, which make readable copies of

files, BACKUP creates files that you cannot use until you

restore them to the disk by using the RESTORE command.

You can use switches with BACKUP to back up files created

after a certain date or to specify files stored in a certain

directory. You can also tell BACKUP to add only those files

that were modified since the last time you ran BACKUP. This

process speeds up the backup procedures you perform on a

regular basis.

For complete instructions on the use of BACKUP and

RESTORE, see your MS-DOS Reference Manual.
