Description: I dunno if anybody has ever asked for this, but it seems like something everybody wants -- a procedure which would run when you went home and backup all files on DSK onto a file server or floppy.'
'
I imagine a simple minded thing almost like COPYFILES (in fact, maybe COPYFILES would even work for this application??? with a little bit of extra code in it to do some cleanup of the backup directory, it might.'
'
This is a bit of facility that every operating system has, and that single-user Interlisp-D machines need.'
