allows you to copy all of the Þles within a directory from one disk to another. All of the Þles
within the directory that you choose (plus all of its subdirectories and the Þles within them) will
be copied to the new disk. If you want to backup the entire disk, then make sure the current
directory is the root directory (as in the picture), and press
