Some time ago, I purchased Minix v.1.3 in the 512K AT-version. However, Until
now I haven't had time do anything with it and now I face a problem:

Before doing anything else I would like to make a backup of the disks as
I do not trust myself with playing around with them without screwing them up.
I thought that this could be done with MSDOS DISKCOPY but this does not work.
Do I have do this from within Minix? Running Minix without harddisk would I
have to copy a bit to the RAM-disk, then on to the backup disk etc. for
the entire set of disks? Somebody please tell me that this is not true.

Thanx in advance
