Utility Programs
Primary and Alternate Directories
The primary directories of the source and destination diskettes must be on the same
track.
The alternate directories may be on different tracks; in fact, the alternate directory
need not be present on either diskette. If the destination diskette does have an
alternate directory, it will be used as such, even if the source diskette has no
alternate directory. If the destination has no alternate directory, none will be
created, even if the source diskette has an alternate directory.
During the
BACKUP
process, the source diskette's primary directory will be used
unless it is found to be flawed. In this case, the alternate, if available, will be used.
Ifthe destination diskette contains an alternate directory on a track which is used for
data on the source diskette, the backup will be cancelled.
