Backups and Copies
You can use the Backup and Copy operations to copy files to different partitions on the same
disk, or even to some directories within the same partition.
You can always back up or copy files to a different partition, regardless of location. If you’re
backing up or copying to the same partition, there’s a restriction: you can’t back up or copy to
the same directory, or to a subdirectory of the current directory (you can back up and copy to
parent directories, however).
For example, suppose you had several program files in the root directory of a partition, and you
wanted to copy some of them to a directory called PROGS, also in the root directory. You
couldn’t use Backup or Copy to make copies of the programs in the PROGS directory, but you
could use Move to move them into PROGS, then use Backup or Copy to make copies of them in
the root directory.
