Backing up the Master Diskettes
As with any software package, you should make backup copies for everyday use and place your
original master diskettes in a safe location. The easiest way to make a backup copy is to use the
DOS DISKCOPY utility.
In a single drive system the command is:
DISKCOPY A: A:
You will need to swap disks as requested by the system.
In a two-disk system the command is:
DISKCOPY A: B:
This will copy the contents of the master disk in drive A to the backup disk in drive B.
