Using The Diskcopy Command - Epson Equity 386/25 User Manual

DISKCOPY, BACKUP, and RESTORE are described below.
"Copying Files," earlier in this chapter, describes the COPY
command. See your MS-DOS Reference Manual for
information on XCOPY.
Note

Using the DISKCOPY Command

The DISKCOPY command lets you make an exact copy of a
diskette. (You cannot use DISKCOPY to copy to or from a
hard disk.) Because this procedure copies the data byte by byte,
the two diskettes must be of the same type. For example, you
cannot use DISKCOPY to copy a 360KB diskette to a 1.2MB
diskette or a 720KB diskette to a 1.44MB diskette. (Use the
COPY command to copy files between different types of
diskettes and to copy files to or from a hard disk.)
If the diskette you are copying to has never been formatted,
DISKCOPY formats it automatically before copying the data.
T h e procedure for copying diskettes depends on whether you
have one or two diskette drives. See the following instructions
for your configuration.
