-
- The <device> parameters specify the name of the disk devices to copy from and
- to copy to; for example, DF0: and DF1:.
-
- By default, the destination disk has the same name as the source disk. If you
- specify the NAME option, you can give the destination disk a different name
- from the source disk.
-
- Normally during a DiskCopy, the Amiga copies and verifies each cylinder of
- data. The NOVERIFY option allows you to skip the verification process, making
- the copy faster.
-
- The MULTI option loads the data on the source disk into memory, allowing you
- to make multiple copies without having to read the data from the source disk
- each time.
-
- Example 1:
-
- 1> DISKCOPY> DF0: TO DF2:
-
- copies the contents of the disk in drive DF0: to the disk in drive DF2:
- overwriting the contents of the disk in drive DF2:.
-
- Example 2:
-
- 1> DISKCOPY DF0: TO DF2: NAME NewDisk NOVERIFY
-
- copies the contents of the disk in drive DF0: to the disk in drive DF2: and
- gives the disk in drive DF2: the name NewDisk. The disk is not verified as it
- is copied.
