- Command Name : Diskcopy
-
- Function : Make a copy of an entire disk
-
- Arguments : [FROM] <disk> TO <disk>
-
- Location : System drawer
-
- This command will back-up an entire disk. You may have encountered this in
- the Workbench. The contents of the first disk are copied to the second
- disk. The second disk does not need to be formatted if you have two disk
- drives. If you use only one drive, you need a formatted disk because a
- title must be specified.
-
- Examples
-
- Diskcopy FROM Workbench2.0: TO Empty:
-
- Copies the Workbench disk to a disk called Empty: (the standard name
- for a newly formatted disk). The first half of the disk is loaded
- into RAM:, then you swap disks so it can be copied onto the second
- disk. This procedure is repeated for the second half. If the disk
- Empty: is in the external drive then you won't have to swap disks.
-
- Diskcopy Df0: TO Df1:
-
- Copies the disk in drive Df0: straight to Df1:. This is the easiest
- and fastest method of using the command, but you need two (or more)
- drives.
