Hi,
I've reached my frustration level with the Amigashell copy.
I've tried copying a directory of about 3 meg of files from my
harddisk to floppies. After filling one disk, copy quits telling
my volume is full. I'd rather it would let me insert another disk,
retry the last file copy, and continue from there.
Any recommendations for a copy utility that gets around this problem?
Something similar to the MS-DOS Treecopy would be great.
thanks,
dennis

Grab SDBackup from one of the directories around here. It will
let you do something like that. It has options to compress the
files also. I backed up about 4.5 Meg onto 4 full floppies and
one floppy about 10% full. It seems to put the files into regular
amiga format (If you choose no compression) Pretty handy.

re -1:
SDBackup lets me do a directory copy to floppies, but was very
insistent on having destination volume names of the form name_1:,
name_2:, name_3, etc. and wanted a destination directory.
I just want a "copy #? df1:" that would just fill the formated floppies
with whatever the wildcarding matched and would ignore volume labels.
Due to the lack of any other replies, is there a reason this isn't
a good thing to do on the Amiga? If not, is there Lattice C source
somewhere for a copy program I could modify to teach it this?
thanks,
dennis

| 3028.3 | Try MRbackup33d! | DECWET::DAVIS | midiot W/O a patcher/router | Tue Oct 24 1989 17:05 | 4 |
Try MRbackup33d it is very versatile and has a "utility" section that
lets you copy across "volumes" and other things.
