| 2026-03-12: Cocopedia.com is now using a new caching system that should make things faster. Please let me know if you encounter any new issues.
2026-03-15: MediaWiki has been reinstalled and the old database and files restored. It was pretty clogged up from being upgraded so many times since 2004. I am also testing out Cloudflare to see if it can prevent the 'bot assaults that took the site down last year. 2026-03-16: Special thanks to Don Barber for hosting a backup mirror of CoCopedia: https://cocopedia.dgb3.net |
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
