  To obtain a working copy of Multi-Back, either
download the machine language program directly
(using VIDTEX or XMODEM protocols) or download
only the basic loader program from this database.
To use the basic loader program just LOAD the
program in and RUN it. It will automatically
create the machine language program "MULTBACK/BIN"
on the default drive.
  Multi-Back is a Multiple disk drive backup
utility that will allow up to 3 copies of a disk
to be made at one time. The program is simple to
use, So you shouldn't have too much difficulty in
getting it to work! 
  When the program asks for the number of drives
available, answer 2-4 depending on the number of
drives in your system. Multi-Back will then tell
you to place the source disk in drive 0 and the
destination disk(s) in the remaining drive(s).
Press any key to continue with the back up. You
may abort the backup by pressing and holding down
the break key. If an I/O error occurs, you will
will be asked if you would like to abort the
backup completely, ignore the error and continue
with the backup, or try to read the bad sector
again. When the backup is complete you will be
asked if you have any more disks to backup,
answering with a 'Y' will restart the program,
anything else will return you to BASIC.
  Please note... this is not a "Cracker" type of
program. This will copy only disks that are not
copy protected! It will however, sometimes allow
you to backup a disk that would not work with the
regular BACKUP command because of its ability to
retry and ignore errors that sometimes occur due
to normal disk wear. If you have any questions
regarding this program leave me a note via the
Color SIG or Easy-Plex.
