I'm sure it's just *BACKUP for DFS to copy one drive to another,,,
Not sure on ADFS without connecting the beeb back up to look.

However I always used to use Enigma Disc Imager, or ADT (Advanced Disk
Toolkit) ROMS  for anything notr supported by the (A)DFS, way back
when.   Or do a file copy up to the hard disc/econet server, then back
again...

(I remember doing a *backup 0 0 on my first single drive, using a
non-acorn ddfs - 56 disk swap to copy both sides of one floppy...  I
bought a dual drive as soon as I could)
