Automate the process by using command line switches that will determine
the source and destination drives. You will probably find the
autoexec.bat file on the floppy is a hidden file. Just open Notepad and
then in Notepad's open Window select the floppy and type autoexec.bat as
the file to open. The switches are well documented.

The result will be a floppy that always ghosts your "C" drive (or
whatever) to whatever destination you chose. If you are backing up more
than one drive, create another floppy with switches set for that drive.
