It should work for Single-Sided disks with any number of tracks. Just
change the first POKE to the track count.  Double-Sided disks would
probably require two separate BACKUP commands and fiddling with the
Drive Select mask to access the 2nd side.

Then again, it might be easier to archive OS-9 disks from within
NitrOS-9 using the DriveWire driver.
