*BackUp

Use

This *Command copies the used part of one floppy disc to another.

Syntax

*BackUp source_drive dest_drive [Q]

Parameters

source_drive Number of source drive (0 – 3)
dest_drive Number of destination drive (0 – 3)
Q Speed up copy process

Notes

The Q parameter speeds up the copy process by using the application work area as a buffer (if required), so fewer disc accesses are required.

Free space is not copied.

This command is only of use for Floppy discs drives.
