24 Dsave is used to backup or copy all files in one or more
|
|
|
25 directories. It is unlike most other commands in that it does NOT
|
|
|
26 directly affect the system, rather, it generates a procedure file
|
|
|
27 which is executed later to actually do the work.

|
|
|
30 When DSAVE is executed, it writes copy commands to
|
|
|
31 <emphasis>standard output</emphasis>
|
|
|
32 to copy files from the current <emphasis>data</emphasis> directory
|
|
|
33 on &replstart;devname&replend; (the default is /D0) to the directory
|
|
|
34 specified by &replstart;path&replend;. If &replstart;path&replend;
|
|
|
35 does not appear, the copy is performed to the current data directory
|
|
|
36 <emphasis>at the time the DSAVE procedure file is executed.</emphasis>
|
|
|
37 If DSAVE
|
|
|
38 encounters a directory file, it will automatically include "makdir"
|
|
|
39 and "chd" commands in the output before generating copy commands for
|
|
|
40 files in the subdirectory. Since DSAVE is recursive in operation,
|
|
|
41 the procedure file will exactly replicate all levels of the file
|
|
|
42 system from the current data directory downward (such a section of
|
|
|
43 the file system is called a "subtree").
|
|
|

|
|
|
45 <para>
|
|
|
46 If the current working directory happens to be the root directory of
|
|
|
47 the disk, DSAVE will create a procedure file that will backup the
|
|
|
48 entire disk file by file. This is useful when it is necessary to
|
|
|
49 copy many files from different format disks, or from floppy disk to
|
|
|
50 a hard disk.
