: When backing up to floppy disks on FM 4.1, I find I have too much data to fit on 1 disk. Once FM has filled up the 1st disk, it simply returns individual error messages for each individual file it can't copy. I would like FM to continue the backup for the 2nd (and subsequent) disks. Do you have a simple work-around for this problem?

Hi Jerome,
This is a shortcoming in FM's backup command. It isn't smart enough
to span multiple disks. A definite area for improvement...
A simple workaround is to copy the *.dat investment files onto floppy
disks using Windows Explorer or something similar.

Thanks,
Mark
