To copy all files on the diskette in drive A to the current directory on the hard disk, type the following and press Enter: COPY A:*.* C: To copy all files with names that begin with the four letters MEMO and end with any single character, type the following and press Enter: COPY A:MEMO? C: You can also use the COPY command to combine a number of files into one file. For example, to create a new file called DATA that consists of the files REPORT, FACTS, and MEMO, type the following and press Enter: COPY REPORT+FACTS+MEMO DATA MS-DOS combines the three files into one file, in the order in which you specified their names. Using BACKUP The BACKUP command lets you store files in a special format for archive purposes. You normally use BACKUP to back up hard disk files; however, you can use it to copy files from any disk to another (hard disk to diskette, diskette to hard disk, diskette to diskette, or hard disk to hard disk). There are advantages to using the BACKUP command: 0 BACKUP can split large files between two or more diskettes. That is, if the diskette to which you are copying has only 200KB of available space, and the next file to be backed up occupies 300KB, the BACKUP command copies the first part of the file to the current diskette and the remainder to the next backup diskette. This results in more efficient diskette use. 3-22 Using MS-DOS With Your Computer
