2024-03-02: The wiki ran out of disk space, so things were not working. This has been resolved by adding another 5GB of quota ;-) Thanks to Tim Lindner for reporting the issues.
2020-05-17: If a page gives you an error about some revision not being found, just EDIT the page and the old page should appear in the editor. If it does, just SAVE that and the page should be restored. OS-9 Al (talk) 12:22, 17 May 2020 (CDT)
BACKUP
BACKUP
BACKUP is an utility to duplicate disks.
Syntax: Backup [<options>] [<sourcedevice>] [<destinationdevice>] [#<n>K]
Options :
e = exit if read error occurs f = backup from .dsk file s = single disk backup -v = do not verify writes -? = display help n memory in KB assigned to the BACKUP command
If <destinationdevice> is omitted, a single disk backup is executed.
If both devices are omitted, /d0 and /d1 are used.
Assigning more memory to the command speeds up the procedure, mostly when used with a single drive.
BACKUP performs a sector by sector copy, ignoring file structures. In all cases, the devices specified must have the same format (size, density, and so forth) and the destination disk must not have defective sectors.
A typical backup session
/DD:backup /d0 /d1
Ready to backup from /d0 to /d1 ?: y
disk label
is being scratched
OK ?:y
Sectors copied: $05A0
Verify pass
Sectors verified: $05A0
