DISKCOPY
Copies the contents of one diskette to another
See also <COPY> <XCOPY> <BACKUP> <VERIFY>
COMMAND TYPE: External VERSION: 2.0 and up
USE: DISKCOPY [d:[d:]][/1]
The first d: is the source disk for the DISKCOPY.
The second d: is the destination disk for the DISKCOPY.
/1 copies only the first side of the disk.
If the destination disk has not been formatted, then DISKCOPY will
format as it copies (with the same number of sectors and sides as the
source disc). If specified with no parameters, DOS will perform a
single drive copy on the default drive.
DISKCOPY is for use on floppy disks only. An attempt to use DISKCOPY
with a fixed disk will not work.
DISKCOPY makes a mirror image copy of a diskette on to another
diskette. As a result, any flaws or fragmented files will also be
copied over. The <COPY> or <XCOPY> commands would work much better under
these circumstances.
