: : 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

Hi Mark;
Would copying the whole data file to a floppy a work around
to this problem?
You would have to delete the old data when you copied the
back up ito it's place.
