6.5 BACKUP
This program is intended to 'backup' all, or selected files from a
Winchester disk onto several floppy diskettes, in case the original
file or files are corrupted during use.
Although, when copying from a Winchester disk, the backup diskette
is usually blank (formatted and verified but containing no files), any
diskette with files already on it can be used, as the existing files
will not be over-written. In addition to this, if there is insufficient
storage space for a file to be completely stored on one diskette, it
is split and stored on two (or more if the file is very large).
