​Well if you are using HDBDOS & you have also a real FDC connected to your
CoCo you would turn off the virtual drive mapping for drive 0 through 3.
Then can use BACKUP Drive# to drive#

Example of this would be:
DRIVE OFF
BACKUP 73 TO 0

That would backup the virtual drive #73 to the real floppy drive #0.​

Below is the manual to HDBDOS which is generic to HDD's & DriveWire. This
should give you better help for knowing what commands are in HDBDOS and
hopefully examples of how they are used.
