> I have recently started to backup my old 5.25in floppies from when I was a kid.  Many are old with bad sectors.  Drivewire makes it easy to backup from floppy disk to disk image on my computer.  I have been using the DECB BACKUP command, however, as you know, as soon as it encounters a bad sector, it aborts with ?IO ERROR.  So I thought I'd ask, can someone recommend a more advanced backup utlity that is capable of skipping/ignoring bad sectors or, even better, work a little harder to get that bad sector?  Most of my old disks are DECB format, however an OS9 utility would be fine too, as long as it can read/write both OS9 and DECB disks.  The other concern is, whether or not the utility talks to the floppy controller directly, in which case it wouldnt work with Drivewire.  Any advice is appreciated.
