Hi Tony,

 HG> Howdy all *nix users,

 HG> Is there a diskcopy function available on a *nix system??

TL> Use dd, you can copy from disk to disk, disk to file or file to
TL> disk, or even file to file. :)

 HG> I was in for one of the great surprises yesterday.

 HG> One of my 3.5" diskettes showed signs of getting tired, so I decided
 HG> to make a diskcopy to get the contents on a fresh media.

TL> If you just want to make a backup:

TL> dd if=/dev/fd0 of=myback.img bs=16384

TL> Or if you have 2 floppy drives and want to copy directly from disk
TL> to disk

TL> dd if=/dev/fd0 of=/dev/fd1 bs=16384

And if I have only one disk drive?
Doing a diskcopy in DOS or OS/2, I just diskcopy from a: to b: .


Have a nice evening,

Holger
