I am getting really rusty.

I found my *own* program that automatically makes hard directories and
backs up.
However there is *something*, probably a rogue file, that is eating up
memory.
How can one copy *all* files using wcopy?
... or even from QPAC2.

I suppose with WCOPY it is something like:
wcopy win2__ to win1__
wcopy win1_ to win2_ just copies the root files (of course).

With Cueshell you can copy whole directories, just open the two devices
and drag the directory from one to the other.

QPAC2
You can make the directory tree first (with your own program?), then use
the "tree" command in Qpac2 to list all files in all subs. Backup will
then copy all files to their new subs in one go.
It may take awhile though. You can also use "tree" from each root
directoriy to break it up in smaller pieces for more control.

Ah yes 'tree' - I had forgotten that.
I managed though to get my backup program working. It was crashing as I kept the file list and copy log in ram, but there are were so many entries for the complete disk copy it ran out of ram! Logging to disk worked.

QBBS is back online.
