This file contains the BACKUP command program. As
mentioned above, this file is provided on your MS-DOS
install diskette. You can run the program from the floppy disk
drive or from the hard disk, if you have copied the file into a
subdirectory on the hard disk.
To back up the entire hard disk, start by changing the system
default drive to the hard disk. Enter:
A>C:
Next, make sure you are in the root directory of the hard disk.
Enter:
C>CD C:\
Now, make sure your diskettes are formatted and ready. If you
are running BACKUP from the MS-DOS install diskette, enter
the command:
C>A:BACKUP C:\A: /S
If you have set up your hard disk directories as described in the
“Organizing Your Hard Disk” section above, enter the
command:
C> BACKUP C:\DOS4 A: /S
In the first example, the A:BACKUP command tells MS-DOS
to search the A drive for the BACKUP.COM file. In the
second, the C:\DOS4 statement will automatically direct MS-
DOS to look in the C:\DOS4 subdirectory for the file.
