Very bad idea indeed. Like the idea to back up any OS/2 partition
with a DOS program. OS/2 make heavy use of ea data. sf & consort,
extended attributes that aren't seen by DOS or DOS-based programs.
A good way to back up things is to use InfoZip in a OS/2 session
(use the 2 install disks of OS/2 or better, the 3 util floppies
made by OS/2) like this:
zip -r -5 -$ -S e:\backup\drive_d.zip d:\*
... Do not buy stuff you cannot afford, unless you really want to.
